QR Codes For The Indie Musicians of The Future
The indie musicians of the future have technologies unlike ever before. I think it's important I let you know more about my connection to social media and the roles it plays in my life and in my pursuit to become a successful musician and entrepreneur. I was bit by the radio active bug back in 2008, before then I had never wrote raps or song lyrics nor ever imagined I'd want to, or be where I am today. I can remember being on Facebook when I was at the University of Cincinnati and you had to have an edu email and be a college student to sign up, and like everyone else, I loved how all of a sudden you could keep in touch with long lost friends, make new connections across the country, and put yourself out there with a real chance of having people hear your voice. I can also vividly remember thinking, this cuts the middle man out! lol. No matter what market you're in, social media allows anyone with a product or service to reach and speak directly to potential customers. They didn't have any classes on this in school. I dropped out, haven't been the same since, and the student is now teacher.

Free Concert on L.A.’s Skid Row
In just three days on Jan 15, Public Enemy along with Cypress Hill, and more will be putting on a free concert in downtown LA's skid row. If you don't know, or you've never been to skid row you can take my word for it-- it's not a place you would like to be. Honestly, it's like a zombie town unfortunately, where the city's largest amount of homeless people live in tints or cardboard box houses scattered up and down the streets. However, the fact the the legendary public enemy and others will be doing a concert to shine some light on this dark situation is awesome and a step in the right direction. Check out the original article I found on Allhiphop.com. I'm also going to try and make it to this event and use my TV channel to give you a first hand look at skid row.

Peter Parker 513 - King Kong Cartoon! lol
I'm a fuckin' nerd!!! Bahahah. I was that kid who was always getting yelled at by his teachers because my home work books and folders always had cartoon drawings, covering them. So when a friend of mine introduced me to http://goanimate.com as it first came out, it was haven sent. It's super easy to make the cartoons and upload to YouTube and share on all your social platforms. To me, this is the coolest part because I like to add calls to action in all my cartoons so that they become little promo tools. So yes, you can look forward to more cartoons starring me!!! Haha.
THE Cincinnati Riot 2
I love MY city, and I love to see this come together! No, I am not in this installment but I've got a good feeling about the future. This is a very positive thing!

Bands and Artists "Like" Facebook most.
What you are looking at is a survey that was published not to long ago. It was a partnered experiment by ReverbNation and Digital Music News. The results show that Facebook "likes" are apparently worth three times more then all of the other top social networking sites till this date.
Complex Magazine Featuring Loni Schick Ft. Peter Parker 513
A little over a year ago, I was lucky enough to meet and network with a very talented and ambitious photographer/blogger from Canada, named Loni Schick. We where able to set up a photo shoot and interview for her official blog. As she was interviewing me I spent most of the time free styling and walking around Hollywood as she took photos and asked questions. We where also able to share some of our aspirations, and at that time I remember thinking she was extremely knowledgeable about hip hop, and her love for the culture was just as equally sincere as my own. Today I was overly grateful when she hit me up to let me know that a spread of hers was featured in Complex Magazine and she was kind enough to include me. 513 stand up! Lol
Here is a link to the spread:
