AZ Chike: No Rest for the Wicked — LA
South Central LA rapper AZ Chike released No Rest for the Wicked on Sep 18, 2026 — his first major Warner project after the GNX "peekaboo" feature, with Tyler, the Creator on two tracks plus Pharrell, Hit-Boy, Sounwave, and Terrace Martin in the credits.
AZ Chike, the South Central Los Angeles rapper who broke wider on Kendrick Lamar's GNX cut "peekaboo," dropped his album No Rest for the Wicked on September 18, 2026 via Warner Records — his first major-label project of this scale. The 14-track set features Tyler, the Creator twice ("Look Like My Mama" and "The World Is Ours") plus JMSN, with production from Pharrell, Hit-Boy, Sounwave, Terrace Martin, and Tyler. He is set to headline a solo tour in early October. Online chatter about a pulled Kendrick feature remains unverified rumor only and is not confirmed by Warner or AZ Chike. Confirmed by Consequence (Sep 18 stream write-up), The Source (Sep 14 tracklist/credits), Apple Music album listing, and HotNewHipHop.
