Data updated on 2025-07-06 11:19:38 UTC
Arlington, Texas-based rapper Tay-K was born Taymor Travon McIntyre in 2000 in Long Beach, California and lived in Compton and Las Vegas before moving to Arlington at age nine. He got into rapping early on as a member of the Daytona Boyz, and by the age of 15 he was posting his self-produced solo tracks online. He produced various solo recordings and performed with the Daytona Boyz, gaining local attention and forming a cult-like fanbase. He skyrocketed to global fame upon the release of his 2017 hit song "The Race", which reached number 44 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the RIAA in January 2018.

Tay-K released his mixtape #SantanaWorld shortly after his arrest, which featured “The Race” among other hits “Murder She Wrote” and “I <3 My Choppa”. Tay-K is currently incarcerated awaiting his appeal.
