.@AzChike is done playing “Peekaboo.” 👀
Two years after stealing the show on Kendrick Lamar’s “Peekaboo,” the West Coast rapper is stepping into his next chapter with his major-label debut, ‘No Rest for The Wicked.’ The 14-track album features production and collaborations with Pharrell Williams, Sounwave, Terrace Martin, Hit-Boy and Tyler, the Creator, while giving Chike room to explore a more vulnerable side of himself.
Billboard’s Hip-Hop Up-And-Comer for September 2026 caught up with Billboard to talk about making his formal introduction to hip-hop, working with some of the West Coast’s biggest names, his Joey Bada$$ battle and what’s next: billboard.com/music/rb-hip-h…

This all a lie and he knows it but “journalism” don’t matter when you have narratives to push. There was never a verse. Picture a nigga like DOT removing a verse. The album fire and the people are forming their own opinions so to counter that “let’s talk about a lie” WEIRDOS
🚨 Akademiks says Kendrick Lamar pulling his verse off AZ Chike’s album and THEN popping up in a video giving AZ Chike a motivational speech is nasty work
Ak jokes Kendrick basically told AZ Chike: no verse, no feature, but here’s some encouragement
“You think you got a hit? You want me to feature? Nigga, fuck a feature.”
He says Kendrick moves like there’s only room for ONE king on the West Coast:
“There’s only space for one king… Kendrick.”
