In 2018, the Memphis native supplied the spare, pummeling beat for Drake’s 'Nonstop', which debuted at No. 2 in July. He quickly followed that up with “Not Alike,” a standout track from Eminem’s platinum album “Kamikaze.” And earlier this month, a song he co-produced became the number-one song in the country: Travis Scott’s multiplatinum “Sicko Mode.”

Tay Keith received Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication, with a concentration in media management at Middle Tennessee State University.

He started making beats at age 14, and soon crossed paths with Memphis rapper BlocBoy JB. In the summer of 2017, their song “Shoot” took the internet by storm.

His concentration in media management wasn’t quite what he expected, either — MTSU materials say majors “study how to lead, supervise, and motivate employees in the media industry” — but he says it taught him valuable networking and communication skills.

While one of Chambers’ professors didn’t catch on to his success until the last day of class (“You could just pay off your student loans,” he recalls her saying), he was on MTSU’s radar for a while.
