AZ Chike

Damaria Kayshawn Walker, better known as AZ Chike, is an American rapper from Los Angeles, California. His name first appeared on the 2017 project Chike The Great, but his proper album debut came in 2019 with Rich & Ratchet. Over the following years, AzChike expanded his catalog with a string of releases whose titles seem rooted in self-definition: Kourtesy Of Us (2021), The Originality of Az Chike (2022), and Born to Be Important (2023). These names do not feel random; they sketch a rapper thinking about where he stands.

That momentum hit its peak in 2023, when AzChike released six projects in a single year: I.S.W.I.L.L, Chike Different, Fuckwaiting, My World, the GEE OH DEE EP, and Born to Be Important. Such a prolific run signals an artist committed to constant output—no long gaps, no wasted time. Whether listeners read it as an uncompromised creative stretch or a flood of ideas, the volume alone proves AzChike’s work ethic and his desire to remain present in the conversation. For a rapper whose catalog is this vast, release frequency itself becomes part of the artistic statement.
