Career of Tay-K

Tay-K managed to avoid getting into serious trouble and began raping in 2015. He joined a collective called 'The Daytona Boyz' along with rappers Santana Sage and Pimpyz and the group would perform at parties and clubs to build their profile in the Local Arlington rap scene. They built a small local follower and began to build on their popularity by working on the full-length tracks they produced at home. The quality of their music was not the highest, but for his smooth flow and lyrics that reflected his real life on the streets, Tay-K, in particular, began to be noticed.

Tay-K started setting up tracks on Soundcloud with tracks such as the auto-tuned 'Sly Cooper' and 'Biff Tannen' and received a fair amount of positive local attention.

Tay-K sent a message to Say Cheese TV's head Shawn Cotton to promote the Daytona Boyz and the more than 10,000 plays they had produced on SoundCloud at the time, as well as the fact that they were all aged 14 to 16 at the time. Unfortunately, Shawn Cotton received so many messages that he missed the message and was unaware of Tay-K's rising profile until late 2016 when Tay-K's track 'Megaman' was gaining traction. Within a few months 'Megaman' had notched up a few hundred thousand plays on Soundcloud and he was already generating a fair amount of attention, especially in the local Arlington Rap scene, but unfortunately, by then T-Kay had already got himself into some serious trouble with the law.
