AZ Chike Delivers a Ruthless West Coast Heater With “Game Time”

AZ Chike is making sure the West Coast stays active in 2025. The Los Angeles native just unleashed “Game Time,” a menacing, high-octane track that puts his slick-talking bravado and signature bounce front and center. A seasoned staple in the LA underground, Chike has been grinding for years, but things took a major turn in November 2024 when Kendrick Lamar tapped him for a standout verse on “peekaboo.” That moment didn’t just put new eyes on Chike—it reminded the world what West Coast energy sounds like when it’s raw, unfiltered, and fresh. On “Game Time,” Chike sounds locked in and laser-focused. The beat knocks with that signature Cali swing, and his delivery oozes confidence. It’s another win for an artist whose moment has finally aligned with his hustle. If you weren’t paying attention before, now’s the time. AZ Chike is in the zone, and he’s making it Game Time every time he drops.
