The West Coast rapper is enjoying the looks he’s had this year.
First, AzChike was featured on ScHoolboy’s Q‘s critically acclaimed album Blue Lips, which essentially worked as a solo track/interlude on the song “Movie”. Chike then made another scene-stealing appearance on Kendrick Lamar‘s GNX on the song “peekaboo”.
During a recent interview with Brown Bag Mornings on Power 106, he talked about how his guest feature on Dot’s surprise project where he revealed that not only did he lay down verses that didn’t end up on this song, but that the Compton rapper already had him in mind when he first made the song.
“’Peekaboo’ was a lot longer than that, but I think he was just doing it just to have more to work with… When he played it, his parts were already on there and the parts I was supposed to be on, he was mumbling how I rap,” he revealed. “He was like, ‘That’s you right there.” […] He told me, like, ‘Rap, bro. Just rap… When they hear this, they wanna ask, who the f—k is this?”
Chike then recalled that he was originally on the hook, but he wasn’t having a hard time getting the cadence right. “They had me do the hook by itself but that sh—t is a tongue-twister,” he said. “I told ‘em even when I heard it the first time. Before I even knew they wanted me to do the hook by myself like that, I was like, ‘Damn. He saying this sh—t fast as f—k!’ And when I told him he was like, ‘Bro, I just did so many takes. I just kept doing it.’ So when I went to go do it the first time, I couldn’t do it by myself. I had to hear him say it. It had to play while I said it.”
AzChike dropped three projects this year and recently released a new song in “Love Yo Weapons.” Make to go stream that.
