AL99 sees the future in new Aisha Hall featuring single “Addictive Visions”

AL99 (pronounced “Al nine-nine”) is an artist, producer and multi-instrumentalist on a mission to do more than just make music for people to listen to. He wants people to get inspired and motivated by it. He wants to be an example for young people and show them that being authentic leads to success. His latest track, “Addictive Visions" features Aisha Hall of Yapp City Music/Ghostface of Wu Tang, and demonstrates his desire for new experiences by achieving his goals through not only his music but all of his entrepreneurial endeavors. 

Written in 2025, “Addictive Visions” is a laidback rap track with an entrancing melody where AL99 and Aisha Hall bring different flows but both discuss what they want and what they’re trying to achieve. AL’s flow is more relaxed but still confident as he slides from his verse to the hook. Meanwhile, Aisha Hall brings her confidence to the forefront with her verse which packs a punch but keeps the relaxed atmosphere of the track intact.

“I’m trying to see things I’ve never seen before. I’m trying to go places I’ve never been before. And I want to do that through the music path I’m on.” he said. 

AL99 wants to lead by example through the authenticity in his music. And with that authenticity, comes diversity in the booth and in the boardroom. He’s earned degrees in Audio Production and Music Business and releases music through his company, TPC (To Progress the Culture) Music Production, whom he has a distribution deal with via Universal Music Group/Bungalo. He wants people to see that he’s an example of how to navigate the music world on your own terms by making the business decisions that are best for your music and everyone else on your team.

The diversity continues on the music side too with AL99 being a fan of music of all kinds and wanting young people to be inspired to live their truth and be themselves. As a multi-instrumentalist he plays the guitar, drums, and keyboard, giving himself a wide-ranging musical ear. This comes in handy not only when he produces his music but when he mixes and sometimes masters it too.

AL sees himself as a voice for those who may not have one because he himself was once the child that was interested in things that were not as popular with his peers. With age came the confidence to fully embrace these interests and now he’s built a career on musical diversity. 

“I’m trying to bring something new to the industry. I feel like today people are more open to that in the rap world because people are starting to stray away from what we’ve been seeing for years. They’re embracing the new creative ways people are doing things and I’m a part of that.” he said. 

With AL99 pursuing multiple paths that branch out from his music, motivation to keep moving forward is key. Motivation comes from his love of music and his love for sharing his journey in real time while people witness it with him. He feels as he grows in life his audience is growing along with him and they’re navigating life together. And the through line for this is his aforementioned authenticity and accountability. 

AL99 has big plans for the future which include expanding his TPC brand and making movies since he already takes a cinematically intentional approach to his music. In addition to more music, he’s also got something special and unique planned to truly illustrate his story but listeners will have to stay tuned to see more about that.

“Addictive Visions” by AL99 featuring Aisha Hall is available on streaming services now.

SOUND ADVICE is a weekly feature where Interview invites its friends, rivals, and favorite collaborators to put together playlists of their own. In recent weeks, the series has featured music selections from Mykki Blanco, Weezer, Soulwax, and 1LDK. For this week's edition, Dominic Fike takes over with a playlist of his own. The musician appeared in our Fall 2026 issue ahead of his upcoming album, How To Quit Smoking. After sharing plenty of thoughtful insights during his interview, we decided to revisit some of his best advice and invite him to put together a playlist designed to help listeners break unhealthy habits. We also take a look behind the scenes of his Los Angeles photoshoot with Aidan Cullen.

“Sometimes you get influenced by other people, but you always bring it back.”

“If you want to make a song, you’re going to make a song. If you want to make a movie, you’re going to make a movie. You can tell yourself there are things holding you back, but it’s always you.”

“The pressure drops away if you’re doing it right.”

“It’s like running. When you’re really in it, you don’t have time to worry because you’re fucking breathing heavy and you’re like, ‘I got to take this next step.’”

———

“It’s like when an idea is spawning and you don’t put too much pressure on it because you’re like, ‘Where’s it even going?’ But you do have to put energy into it to see where it’s going to grow.”

“I remember the feeling of making music as a kid, not thinking about what I do now. Back in 2019, when I got a deal, I was only thinking about what other people wanted.”

“Somebody said meditation is the whole process, not just sitting with your mind cleared. It’s about having those thoughts and then coming back to stillness.”

———

“I always believe you don’t want to be in people’s faces too much.”

“I like it when I don’t know about an actor’s private life.”

———

“I want to be front-facing with my music, and I wonder if that would take away from somebody’s vision of trying to create a new world onscreen.”
