Hip-Hop Lives Here
CALIFORNIA - Many musicians release singles and hope fans connect to it. However, true artists use their music to bond with fans through a mutual experience or connection. For Amedee, identifying with his fans drives him every day in the studio.
“I make really good music,” said Amedee, who refers to his music as substance/reality rap. “Identifying with the people and trying to relate is what’s most important to me and my music because if you can’t relate with people and they can’t understand, there’s no point. When I write, I don’t necessarily write about what you’re going through or what your group of people is going through. Every song I make comes from my personal experience and my reality. It’s not about anybody else, but people feel as if I’m speaking for them also because they can relate to my truths. People appreciate my honesty. I’m a very transparent and genuine person.
Amedee is fast becoming the go-to hip-hop artist for mid-tempo emotional, heartfelt music that people can relate to. While he does his share of party music, his latest release, “To Whom It May Concern,” rides a vibe that showcases his genuine rap style with slick punch lines and lyrics that resonate with every listener. Mixed with a melodic reggae-ish vibe paying homage to Bob Marley, Amedee’s track does not sound like the typical rap song, but the music is catching fire due to the way it hooks listeners into its message and vibe.
While navigating through life and shutting out the doubters, Amedee said, “To Whom It May Concern” is his statement to his cynics. “This is my F-U song for anybody that’s doubted me and everybody that talks about me. It’s an introduction song, ‘hello, I’m Amedee, nice to meet you.’ I’m telling them you can hate me now but just wait ’til I bubble. I’m one of those people who gave and gave and just kind of got shitted on. This is my F-U; I am who I am, song to the world.”
While Amedee said “To Whom It May Concern” is a personal song, he knows fans across the globe can identify with its lyrics. “Everyone at some point in their life hears a lot of chatter from the outside, opinions about the way they are,” he said. “This is my shut the F-Up and let me live type of song.”
“To Whom It May Concern” was recorded at Eravox Studios in Carlsbad, with Amedee taking an active role in its creation. He went old school and resisted using autotune on this track using a beat from German producer Arma. Amedee’s creative abilities shine through the track’s every note from recording all the sound effects himself and voices for the song.
Devoting all his time to writing and producing music while trying to maintain a balance between being a father and having a 9-5, Amedee believes in his talent and seeks the respect he deserves from industry members. It is evident with his latest release that he is on the cusp of becoming a household name.
“I dedicated my life to music. I dropped out of culinary school to make music. I was one of those people who took music seriously and has given it his all,” he said. “Now, I want people to hear my music.”

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.
