AL99 Bridges Hip Hop Generations With “SUPERDUPER - Remix” Featuring The Legendary Smooth B

When the hip hop legend The Legendary Smooth B first heard “Superduper,” he was driving in New York. His business partner was playing the track in the car. The Legendary Smooth B was immediately drawn to the heavy bass beat combined with AL99’s clever lyrics.

Popped out feeling like a king
Married to the hunt I need a ring
If it’s up it’s up I let it sing
Put my heart and soul into the game

The Legendary Smooth B said, “Yo, play that again.”

As one half of the early ‘90s hip hop hit-making duo Nice & Smooth, The Legendary Smooth B knows a good track when he hears it. After listening a second time, he said to his business partner, King YaYa, “Yo, I’d jump on that track with him, man.”

As it turned out, King YaYa is also the business partner of AL99. Connections were made, a remix was recorded and mixed, and “SUPERDUPER - Remix” was dropped. It surpassed 20,000 streams on Spotify in its first week.

AL99 says the collaboration is both an honor and an opportunity to connect hip hop generations. He says, “I'm trying to bridge the gap between the old school and the new school. We're trying to show the new generation something, and show the older generation something, too.”

In addition to the track, AL99 and The Legendary Smooth B also met up in Brooklyn to film a new music video for “SUPERDUPER - Remix.” Produced by the team at IG Visualz, the artists perform the song side by side in a symbolic passing of the torch from one hip hop generation to the next, inspired by the album art which shows The Legendary Smooth B literally passing a golden crown to AL99. The video drops July 14, 2026.

The Legendary Smooth B has a four-decade history of successful collaborations, with artists like Gang Starr, New Kids on the Block, Slick Rick, Everlast, Bobby Brown, and more. The Legendary Smooth B will be featured in an upcoming documentary, and he continues recording new music. This keeps his lyrical skills sharp, evident on his lines in “SUPERDUPER - Remix”:

I’m superduper, this ain’t no blooper
When I was born, they call me a trooper
The way I ball you’d think I’m a hooper
Deaf, dumb, and blind and in a stupor

For AL99 and his label TPC Music Production, this new collaboration adds to a year of incredible momentum. He has seen his Spotify monthly listeners surpass 30,000, along with hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube and high-profile live appearances at east coast venues. He credits his success to consistency and hard work in a field crowded with talent.

He says, “There's a lot of dope, talented people out there. I'm not saying I'm the only one. But at the end of the day, it's the consistency and it's the patience and the dedication, man. That's what keeps it growing.”

Thxrsday Curates an Authentic Hip-hop Experience in Latest Single, ‘O V R T H I N K’

Hip-hop artist Thxrsday demonstrates versatility and authenticity in his latest release, “O V R T H I N K,” from the upcoming album of the same name. Inviting listeners to confront their own emotions, the thoughtful single acts both as an outlet for the artist and a moment for listeners to feel of their own accord.

Hailing from Tennessee (and born in Colorado), Thxrsday is a musician with abundant life experiences and the courage to share them. Taking inspiration from artists including The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, Juice WRLD, and XXXTentacion, Thxrsday blends the sounds of his surroundings with a perspective of his own. His goal, ultimately, is to meet listeners where they are in life and share the moment through his songs.

Moved by The Weeknd’s mixtape, “Thursday,” the artist eventually adopted a version of the title as his moniker. “That mixtape is my favorite and resonated the most with me as a person,” adds Thxrsday of his namesake. 

The album O V R T H I N K showcases a cohesive variety that flows from one song to the next while compiling beats from various producers. “The album is arranged sonically but not chronologically,” explains the artist. “I curated it based on which songs sounded good next to the other ones, not necessarily how listeners are expected to listen to them.”

“Every song individually tells its own story,” he adds. “The first is the bittersweet introduction of who I am and where I come from. The second leads into the music scene and what I want to do here. The project isn’t supposed to be one story. It’s about getting people to know who I am. I’d rather have a song paint a picture than write words in a biography.”

Both the single and album title, “O V R T H I N K” is the fifth of nine songs on Thxrsday’s upcoming project. The single came to Thxrsday in the form of a rock-based beat by producer youngtaylor_. “I’m a huge fan of rock and guitars,” shares the rapper. “I heard the guitar, and it led to me telling the truth on the mic.”

“O V R T H I N K” is an experience to be had. As the song begins, the smooth rock breaks into a delightfully unexpected verse. There is never a moment of pause through the flows and movement of the single. Each section is carefully curated to pull listeners in and give them space to feel.

To Thxrsday, creating music is like therapy. “It’s only then that I open up and talk to the mic, like sharing with a friend. Music gave me the opportunity to open up and use it to show people how I’m really feeling — my deepest, darkest secrets.”

Thxrsday isn’t shy about pouring his heart and soul into song. “Everything I say is based off real experiences and things I’ve gone through. That’s then painted in the beautiful masterpiece of music.”

Ultimately, Thxrsday hopes listeners can find their own purpose and meaning in his songs. “I want my story to resonate with others but I don’t want to force a meaning. I want them to find it for themselves,” he adds.

O V R T H I N K is set to release on July 30, 2026. Following the release of O V R T H I N K and its namesake single (out July 3), Thxrsday looks forward to continuing to create and release music at a steady pace. ”Releasing new music is a no brainer,” says Thxrsday. “I want to touch upon different genres, drop some EDM songs.”

As for live performances, Thxrsday is eager to showcase his music onstage in the near future. In the meantime, fans can enjoy the entire album – in whichever order they like.

O V R T H I N K” is available on all streaming platforms, with promotional support from Starlight PR.
