Tay-K Bio – 2018 Update
Born in Long Beach, California, Tay-K spent the majority of his youth in Arlington, Texas, after living between Las Vegas, and Hampton as a young child. Like many rappers, he first got involved with music in his early teens- as a member of a group called the Daytona Boyz. Ultimately, it was with the crew that he released the track, Drift in late 2014. Eventually going solo, he dropped his debut single, BIFF XANNEN on Soundcloud in 2015. A decent hit, it garnered much attention in the underground rap scene.
Prior to his music career taking off however, Tay-K was charged with capital murder. Despite that however, he continued to produce new tracks. Continuing to put together new beats while on the run, he released The Race in early 2017, just two years prior to his arrest. His most popular record to date (or more accurately, his only official single), it peaked at number 44 on the Billboard Hot 100, after debuting at number 70. On Youtube, its music video has also racked up over 100 million views.
Since then, Tay-K has come out with the extended play, #SantanaWorld (which was actually released while he was still incarcerated). As of September 2017, the teen is held on a $500,000 bail, and has been transferred to an adult prison.
