Sampling Tha Dogg Pound’s 1994 classic, Chike delivers sharp taunts over a G-funk beat, mocking Joey’s “Rockstar” credit and Pro Era’s relevance. With a vibrant LA-centric video, Chike’s confident yet restrained flow signals his rising star. Analytic Dreamz explores the track’s nostalgic production, lyrical jabs, and its role in the ongoing beef sparked by Joey’s “The Ruler’s Back.”Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Now when it comes to A. Z. Chike, he has to understand the ultimate rule when it comes to hip hop. When you're choosing a name, ladies and gentlemen, it is your job to understand all the ways your name could be flipped. But then you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? Now, with that being said, all jokes aside, because we're about to get into a lot more jokes. But as far as currently, A.Z. Chike does. have a track out on DSPs titled game time that came out May 16 2025 and the reason why I'm

saying that is because of course he's in the midst of a Joey this battle or this war as all of these tracks that I have up right now analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio but this is the entire track list of everybody going at Joey I mean to the point where you almost feel bad for him but then you realize he did this the entire LA rap scene it wasn't like he came at somebody specific I mean he said he wanted Kendry but then he went on and proceeded to this every LA rapper so now everybody's jumping out of the woodworks to come at Joey right and that is no different with AZ Chike's track what would you do so as far as this specific track it has a sample from the dog pounds 1994 track of the same it was the same name of what would you do so as far as joining the west coast responding to joey's first district to the entire la scene as far as the rulers back which i believe i cover that let me see if i should cover that because when joey put out the rulers back uh let me see

i didn't okay my first time covering him was all the red bull spiral yeah because i remember when the ruler came out i forget what was happening it was something happening but as far as far as Joey and then this entire back and forth obviously it's not commercialized and this is just for the art and for the craft of hip hop because if you really look at the charts currently there's nothing going on that will let you or lead you to believe that any of these tracks are going to make billboard which I always say when covering the charts over here on this platform that if you sell a lot it does not mean you make high quality but if you don't sell at all it's not mean you're making the worst thing in the world the two don't correlate but sometimes it does right right so that being said with a z trike in getting back to his name the way that joey flipped it as far as talking about hearing some poop from a person name and then he used the a s s version of a z right and then he said cheek and then of course we know what he's playing off of and that was the only line that he gave him as far as his specific track uh my town so if you're going at somebody like that right if let me see if I can find this so if you're going at Ray Vaughn and you're going at daylight and the only bar you have towards a certain individual is mispronouncing his name in a hilarious fashion guess what that is hard to respond to that's hard to rebut because of the reason why he used the

butt as the butt of the joke for your name it's kind of crazy how that works out ain't it so what that means a azy trike is back again and this specific this track is not doing anything for me i don't know the only reason i even covered this was to let y'all know that joey had one of the most hilarious retorts to a rapper's disc track ever and it was by mispronouncing his name in a such hilarious fashion and now people are going to look at his name forever as cheek instead of chike and then you already know a s s s instead of A Z unfortunate poor one out for a poor one out for cheek man so that being said analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with

the audio because I have the entire track list up if you was wanting to look up these tracks specifically and with that being said we did just get into AZ check what would you do I just covered Ray Vaughn's golden eye I've already covered the error track and then the Red Bull spiral freestyle and of course I covered the final track and as you're seen we're not getting to everything on this track list but we're getting to the majority of it of what I believe stood out in the midst of this just rap war going on right now because this is definitely one of the more hip-hop things that's happened this year as far as people actually taking the craft of putting words together seriously so with that being said I did want to do my due diligence

and dive into a good amount of tracks just to let people know what's happening in the hip hop scene so that being said click my link to my bio let me know on one of my social medias what do you think about a z trike's new name and also what do you think about his latest disc track what would you do
