AZ Chike sounds five minutes away from crashing out.

One of the standout elements of Kendrick Lamar’s GNX album was his willingness to share the spotlight with a wave of rising talent. In an era where listeners often stick to familiar names, Kendrick’s cosigns act like golden tickets—and one of the recipients was none other than AZ Chike, who made waves with his feature on the track “peekaboo.”

Following the buzz from that appearance, AZ Chike is keeping the energy high with a new solo release titled “Game Time.” Short, sharp, and far from sweet, the track is a cold-blooded West Coast anthem that plays like a warning shot. Riding a minimalist Cali beat laced with crisp finger snaps and icy undertones, Chike calls out clout chasers, flexes his street credentials, and makes it very clear: he’s not here to play.

The hook is catchy, his flow is tight, and the confidence he brings feels natural—but it’s the chilling calmness in his delivery that sets “Game Time” apart. AZ Chike sounds like he’s ready to crash out if anyone dares to step on his sneakers.
