AZ Chike – “Look Like My Mama” (Feat. Tyler, The Creator)
As this year's just-unveiled Camp Flog Gnaw lineup will attest, Tyler, The Creator is an eclectic soul who cannot be anchored to any particular genre. But it's always cool when Tyler reengages with his roots and gets back on some real underground rap shit. That's what he does on "Look Like My Mama," the new single where he joins forces with South Central LA rap monster AZ Chike. The post AZ Chike…
Camp Flog Gnaw's 2024 lineup includes Tyler, The Creator, known for his eclectic musical tastes. Tyler's latest single, "Look Like My Mama," features South Central LA rapper AZ Chike, with whom he has been making music for over a decade. AZ Chike gained significant attention in June when he and Kendrick Lamar engaged in a lyrical duel on Kendrick's GNX album, "Peekaboo."
AZ Chike's new album, "No Rest For The Wicked," is set to release on September 18 via Warner Records. The upbeat track "Look Like My Mama" showcases the duo's rap prowess, with Tyler producing a funky, cartoonish beat. The song features no hook and instead presents a continuous back-and-forth exchange between the two artists, delivering punchlines after punchline.
Tyler also contributed a writing credit to the track, although the reason for this is unclear. The accompanying music video, directed by Stacking Memories, features the artists reenacting scenes from various films, including Napoleon Dynamite, Dead Presidents, Paid In Full, Sinners, and Men In Black. The video promises to be an entertaining watch.
To accompany the release, Tyler and AZ Chike embarked on a tour, with dates spanning from October 5 in Houston, Texas, to November 7 in Berkeley, California.
