He produced eleven Billboard Hot 100 top ten hits, including the 2018 singles "Look Alive" by BlocBoy JB and "Nonstop" by Drake, which peaked at five and two on the chart, respectively. He has produced four number-one hits in the chart: "Sicko Mode" (2018) and "4x4" (2025) by Travis Scott, and "Jimmy Cooks" (2022) and "First Person Shooter" (2023) by Drake. His 2023 single "Pound Town 2" (with Sexyy Red, featuring Nicki Minaj) marked his first entry on the chart as a lead artist.

On December 15, 2018, Tay Keith earned his bachelor's degree from Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. 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.

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".

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.

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

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. In 2019, Keith produced a bonus track, "Before I Let Go", on Beyoncé's Homecoming: The Live Album. In 2020, he produced "Rain", a single by Aitch featuring AJ Tracey. Keith was known for the distinctive producer tag "Tay Keith, fuck these niggas up!"; he also used the tag "Tay Keith is too hard". In 2024, he executive produced Sexyy Red's In Sexyy We Trust, 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.
