AZ Chike and Tyler, the Creator Channel Napoleon Dynamite, Sinners and Men in Black in New 'Look Like My Mama' Video

AZ Chike and Tyler, the Creator have released a new collaborative single, 'Look Like My Mama', along with a music video that reenacts scenes from several well-known films. The track arrived on 28 August 2026, as confirmed by AZ Chike's social media the day prior Instagram.

Directed by Stacking Memories, the video opens at 'NRFTW High School' — a set built around lockers that closely resemble those in the 2004 comedy Napoleon Dynamite. From there, AZ Chike and Tyler move through reenactments of scenes from Sinners and Men in Black, among others, before the video closes on a young child watching the events unfold on a television in his bedroom Pitchfork.

The Napoleon Dynamite connection runs deeper than the set design. The single's artwork pulls inspiration from the film, which Tyler, the Creator has cited as a personal favourite Instagram. The visual nods sit alongside a more direct promotional thread: flyers scattered through the video read 'NO REST FOR THE WICKED' — the title of AZ Chike's forthcoming album — followed by the date 09.18.26 Pitchfork.

That date places the album's release on 18 September 2026, roughly three weeks after the single. 'Look Like My Mama' is positioned as a major feature on that project, Tyler's contribution giving the track a high-profile collaborative weight ahead of the full-length drop Instagram.

For AZ Chike, a Tyler, the Creator feature on a lead single is a notable pairing — the two artists operate in different lanes of hip-hop, and the collaboration pairs AZ Chike's West Coast rap credentials with Tyler's genre-spanning production and visual sensibility. The video's film-reenaction concept leans into Tyler's well-documented interest in cinema and design, while giving AZ Chike a visually rich stage to introduce his album campaign.

The reveal of the child watching the video's events on a bedroom television adds a framing device that ties the film references together — the characters are performing for an audience within the video itself, and that audience is a kid taking it all in Pitchfork.

With the single out and the album date planted inside the video, AZ Chike's No Rest for the Wicked now has a 18 September target.
