In GBA 131 we get better acquainted with Carl. He stops off in the middle of travelling around the world to talk neuroscience, culture, the merely real and share some stories of his travels.

Carl plugs:

"Have joy if you can in the merely real."

"Do stuff while you can because there's a fine line between can and can't and you don't want to discover it on the wrong day."

G’Pettoe

G’Pettoe was born and raised in Houston TX, but started to travel early in life with his single mother of 3 guiding the wheel. Although the beginning was short lived, there is always prosperity in perspective of situation. G’Pettoe has always felt a connection with music since his days of being a youth performer in the church choir. Not long after he began performing freestyle battles in Houston, TX.
Matter of fact G’Pettoe’s transition into music from his normal 9-5 life-style has opened up tremendous amounts of opportunities with other Comma House affiliates. G’Pettoe feels he has found his perfect match in the dealings of music. Remember "You Only Die Alive"
There is a great heavenly presence surrounding the pureness of music in which G’Pettoe loves. The positive vibes of music is intoxicating and relative to what G’Pettoe has been searching for in his calling. So the answer of course is the “pursuit of happiness” in life with no detours. As G’Pettoe’s vision spreads and infects the populations he feels he is showing a real motivated movement towards something worth moving to. Honestly there is no way that he can leave this love affair with the rap game for he in it TILL DEATH DO US PART!
If asked G’Pettoe would say there’s no grater joy than music but it’s already understood that there is an instant attraction to the charisma and freedom of it’s intoxicating poison. G’Pettoe has a lot of motivation outside of music as well with a two job hustle to forward his music career. Along with supporting a lifestyle that is critical to his growth as a man; G’Pettpoe has been featured on BET’s College Tour and is now making a statement throughout the hip hop community.
IN SHORT I am a new breed of artist and there is no way I will turn back now that my Unscripted Path has been taken. Going in all the time as G'Pettoe with no option but make it! I WILL NOT FAIL! I will never disappoint my faithful fans. 
I am determined to take my talents to the highest most death defying level possible. There are a lot of people trying to pursue this craft but not like me because with me you will always be able to hear new regaurdless if im in the studio or on the street if you see me then ask me to spit somethin interesting for you I gotchu !!!!
