Tributes are starting to pour in from across the hip-hop world for Grammy-nominated producer Tay Keith.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old was found dead in his Nashville apartment Thursday by officers performing a welfare check, the Metro Nashville Police Department said on X<\/a>. The cause of death has not been determined, but foul play is not suspected, and an autopsy will be conducted.<\/p>\n

Keith, who was born Brytavious Chambers, worked with some of the biggest names in music, including Drake, Beyonc\u00e9, Lil Nas X and Eminem.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was just 23 when he was nominated for his first Grammy in 2019, for his work on Travis Scott\u2019s song Sicko Mode. He was nominated again in 2024<\/a> for his work on Rich Flex by Drake and 21 Savage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last year, he was listed on the Forbes 30 under 30 music<\/a> list.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Among those honouring Keith are Memphis music producer Hitkidd and Florida-based DJ Scheme.<\/p>\n

Memphis rapper BlocBoy JB, who was one of Keith\u2019s earliest collaborators, posted a broken-heart emoji on his Instagram<\/a>, and said “We talked every day yeen tell me you was leaving.”<\/p>\n
