On December 15, 2018, Tay Keith earned his bachelor's degree from Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.[7] He was nominated for Best Rap Song for his work on "Sicko Mode" at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards. He was signed to a publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music and was a BMI member.

Early life

Keith was born and raised in South Memphis, Memphis, Tennessee.[8]

Around the age fourteen, he began to make music and publish it to YouTube and DatPiff. He also had a piano which he used to make songs and remake popular songs. One of the songs he remade was Lil Wayne's "Lollipop".[9]

He met fellow American rapper BlocBoy JB when he was fourteen, after he moved to East Memphis. The two began making music together shortly afterward.[7]

Career

In 2015, Keith began working with rapper Blac Youngsta on his mixtape Fuck Everybody, for which he produced the single "Lil Bitch".[citation needed]

Keith gained mainstream success in 2018 through producing BlocBoy JB's "Rover" (later remixed to "Rover 2.0" featuring 21 Savage), "Shoot" and "Look Alive" featuring Drake, Drake's "Nonstop", Travis Scott's "Sicko Mode", Eminem's "Not Alike" featuring Royce da 5'9, and Lil Baby and Gunna's "Never Recover" featuring Drake.[4][5] In 2019, Keith produced a bonus track, "Before I Let Go", on Beyoncé's Homecoming: The Live Album.[10] In 2020, he produced "Rain", a single by Aitch featuring AJ Tracey.[11] Keith was known for the distinctive producer tag "Tay Keith, fuck these niggas up!"; he also used the tag "Tay Keith is too hard".[12] In 2024, he executive produced Sexyy Red's In Sexyy We Trust,[13] after producing several of her singles such as "SkeeYee", "Pound Town 2", and "Get It Sexyy". Keith's final production credit appeared on Key Glock's album Project X, which was released just 24 hours after Keith's death.[14]

Personal life

Keith graduated from Middle Tennessee State University in 2018.[15] Before his death in June 2026, he resided in Atlanta.[16]

Death

On June 18, 2026, Keith was discovered dead at his Nashville apartment following a welfare check conducted by local police.[17][18] Authorities determined there was no evidence of foul play.[19][20] He was 29 years old at the time of his death. On June 30, 2026, a memorial for Keith was held on June 30, 2026, at the Cannon Center for the Performing Arts in Memphis, Tennessee. People that were in attendance at Keith's funeral were Sexyy Redd, Murda Beatz, Gunna, friends, family, and hundreds of fans who supported Keith's music.[21]

As of mid-to-late July, no official cause of death had been established; the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department classified the death as pending autopsy results.[18][19][22]
