Rising artist AZ Chike and the visionary Tyler, the Creator have officially joined forces for their latest collaborative effort, “Look Like My Mama.” The release arrives alongside a highly stylized music video that leans heavily into cinematic nostalgia.
Directed by Stacking Memories, the visual narrative kicks off at the fictional “NRFTW High School.” Eagle-eyed viewers will immediately recognize the aesthetic, which draws direct inspiration from the cult classic Napoleon Dynamite. The lockers are adorned with flyers promoting “NO REST FOR THE WICKED”—the title of AZ Chike’s highly anticipated forthcoming album—and a release date of September 18, 2026.
Throughout the video, the duo engages in a series of playful reenactments, paying homage to various films including Sinners and the sci-fi staple Men in Black. The clip concludes with a meta-twist, revealing that the entire sequence is being viewed by a young fan on a bedroom television. It is a creative, high-energy visual that serves as a perfect companion to the track’s production.
This collaboration follows a busy period for Tyler, the Creator, who continues to influence the landscape of modern music. Fans looking for more insight into his recent work can revisit his 2025 album Don’t Tap the Glass, which was recently highlighted in our breakdown of the year’s best pop records.
