Music producer Tay Keith, real name Brytavious Chambers, was found dead in his Nashville apartment on Thursday, June 18. Police say no foul play is suspected, but the death remains unclassified pending autopsy results.
When officers arrived at his Nashville apartment for a welfare check, they found music producer Tay Keith—Brytavious Chambers—dead at 29. Thursday, June 18 is the day his family and the music world will keep returning to, even as the details still haven’t fully come into focus.
Tay Keith was found dead in his Martin St. apartment “this afternoon” by officers who were performing a welfare check. As of now, no cause of death is known. Nashville police released a statement on the tragic loss, saying no foul play is suspected. His death is unclassified pending autopsy results.
For years. Tay Keith’s name carried weight in modern rap production—especially in the orbit of some of the biggest artists in the genre. He was known for working with major stars like Drake and Travis Scott. He also earned a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Song for his work on Travis Scott’s 2018 track “Sicko Mode.”.
His catalog reached beyond that moment. Tay Keith’s work includes Drake’s “Nonstop,” Eminem’s “Not Alike,” and his own song “Pound Town” featuring Sexyy Red.
The sequence of what’s known is stark: a welfare check led to the discovery, police say no foul play is suspected, and the death remains unclassified while autopsy results are pending. The timeline points to urgency, but the missing piece is still the same—why.
MISRYOUM sends its thoughts and condolences to Tay Keith’s loved ones during this difficult time.

So sad man. Hope they figure out what happened fast.
“No foul play” but still unclassified… that always sounds weird to me. Like are they saying it’s definitely natural or just waiting? Either way 29 is way too young.
I saw somewhere else it was an overdose? But then this says no foul play. Those two things don’t match up unless “no foul play” just means they haven’t checked the right stuff yet. Also Martin St apartment… Nashville be wild.
This is heartbreaking. Tay Keith made Sicko Mode like everybody knows that song. I don’t get how welfare checks can find someone dead “this afternoon” like… was he missing for days or just hours? Praying for his family but I’m honestly confused on the timeline.
