August 15, 2025 marked the release of Washington, D.C.’s own AL99’s (AL Nine-Nine) first official music video, “POP,” and the record makes its presence known instantly. The beat is urgent, the verses are sharp, and the hook lingers long after the song ends. The video magnifies the track’s intensity with commanding visuals, presenting AL99 as a confident storyteller and performer. For a debut, it’s less about promise and more about delivery—AL99 arrives ready.
Behind this release is a layered story of artistry, business, and legacy. AL99 is not only the grandson of a member of the legendary The Persuasions, but also a freshly signed artist with Universal Music Group/Bungalo, marking his first distribution deal. On top of that, he’s the founder of TPC Music Production (To Progress the Culture), reflecting a mission to own his narrative and empower others. “POP” isn’t just a first video—it’s a signal that AL99 is entering Hip-Hop to leave a mark.
