Mr. Al Pete Biography:

Mr. Al Pete is a Hip Hop musician, podcaster, journalist, and the founder of Mister Peterson’s Neighborhood/The MPN Network. Created in 2012, MPN reached instant success with themed ‘warehouse’ parties and the birth of two sub brands: Fly Socks and Tees and The Groove Suite, which was created in 2014. While hosting multiple events, The Groove Suite Podcast was formed to showcase the Neo Soul, Progressive, and other related genres’ music and artists from Jacksonville, Florida and around the United States. In August of 2016, Pete began working with the internet radio station The Sound of Duval by hosting his online radio mix show ‘Cubicle Music Mondays.’ Wanting to expand into the network realm, in January of 2020, Pete created The MPN Network, along with The Neighborhood Podcast Network, which hosts a range of regional podcasts. The network is continuously being innovative and working to tell more stories of various creators of music, arts, and influencers with purpose.

The Unspoken Truth: Exploitation in the Music Industry

Queue Points

01/17/24 • 53 min

DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray engage in a candid discussion about the harsh realities within the music industry, and how it impacts Black artists. They share insights on the predatory nature of recording contracts, likening them to predatory loans, and the exploitation and harm that many artists have endured. They also underscore the harm that some well-known figures in the industry have allegedly caused their artists, specifically citing allegations against music producer Sean "Diddy" Combs and others. The conversation extends to the role of surviving as a Black artist in a white-dominated industry, the mental health implications, instances of sexual assault, and the importance of addressing these issues openly and with care.

A Conversation on the Healing Power of Dance Music

Queue Points

03/17/24 • 40 min

On this episode of Queue Points podcast, hosts DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray discuss the misunderstanding and underappreciation of House music in today's pop culture, using a recent tweet, by @thunter86, about the current music era as a springboard. They argue against the claim that we're in a grand House renaissance, pointing out that while House continues to thrive in specific circles, it hasn’t significantly penetrated the mainstream pop scene as some believe. The discussion moves on to the impact of Beyonce's 'Renaissance' album and its potential to inspire a broader acceptance of House and dance music. The hosts share their nostalgia for the vibrant dance culture of the past and bemoan the modern music scene's lean towards sadder, less danceable tracks. They champion the myriad benefits of dance, recalling personal experiences with dance music from their youth and discussing the physical and emotional health benefits of dancing. The episode also includes reflections on how music influences community and individual well-being, advocating for more joyous, danceable music in the mainstream to enhance communal joy and individual health.
