Even by today’s standards, in a word of side hustles and systemic multitasking, Mr. Al Pete is a busy man. A longtime co-architect, activist, even critic, of the Northeast Florida hip-hop community, the rapper-polymath has released his latest with area producer Notsucal. The latest installment of their G (or G.Dot) series, G4.5 continues their collaboration of releasing savvy beats and production and virtue-aiming lyricism.

Greetings, Neighbors! I hope that your Valentine’s Day was cool and filled with hearts and love. I chose most of the songs with the intent to add excitement about the holiday. I hope you enjoy them as well. In honor of the Fort Mose Jazz & Blues Series, I shared songs from a few performers: Dinner Party, Kem and Macy Gray. To the people who checked the shows out, I know you had a time there.
