DISCOVERIES WEEK II
SONG DISCOVERY OF THE WEEK
℗ CHILL GHOST
C’EST TOI-THOMAS ASSLEMAN, MORISAN, SOUND MOMENTUM
I know the summer sun has set, but this beautiful track deserves this week’s discovery spotlight. Released by up-and-coming house producer Thomas Assleman, the record has been gaining traction across social media since its recent release. I’m a sucker for great house music—especially when it’s jazz-infused—and this one hits both notes perfectly. It manages to feel nostalgic and warm while still sounding decidedly modern: lush chords, swinging percussion, and tasteful melodic flourishes that nod to classic jazz without ever feeling dated. Give Thomas a salute—he’s an artist on the rise, and this track is a strong sign he’s one to watch.

AZ CHIKE- NO REST FOR THE WICKED
AZ Chike’s No Rest for the Wicked marks a defining moment in the Los Angeles rapper’s career, bringing together the raw street perspective and restless energy that have shaped his music with a more expansive, introspective approach. The 14-track project features appearances from Tyler, The Creator and JMSN, alongside production from names including Pharrell Williams, Hit-Boy and Sounwave. Following years of building his reputation in L.A. and a breakthrough appearance on Kendrick Lamar’s GNX & ScHoolboy Q’s Blue Lips, Chike enters a larger spotlight without abandoning the perspective that got him there. No Rest for the Wicked feels less like a traditional debut than the culmination of years of work—an ambitious statement from an artist finally getting the opportunity to operate on a much larger stage. Congratulations to Chike on this exciting new chapter in his career. He handled the momentum from those guest appearances with tact and strategy—turning visibility into tangible opportunities. Not every artist gets to convert moments like that into lasting progress; credit to him for making it count.
