Drake is mourning the loss of collaborator Tay Keith following the producer’s death earlier this week.
On Friday (June 19), the superstar rapper shared a heartfelt tribute on social media after the chart-topping producer died Thursday at age 29.
The Toronto MC accompanied the message with a memorial image featuring the words “In Loving Memory” and “Rest in Peace” alongside a black-and-white photo of Tay Keith framed by illustrated roses.
Known for his signature trap production, the Memphis native became one of hip-hop’s most influential hitmakers. He earned 11 top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and produced four No. 1 songs, including Travis Scott’s “Sicko Mode” and Drake’s “First Person Shooter.”
Keith also collaborated with Drizzy on tracks including “Nonstop,” “What Did I Miss?” and “Rich Flex.”
Keith holds the record for the most No. 1s on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart this decade, with six.
Keith was found unresponsive in his Nashville apartment during a welfare check conducted by Metro Nashville Police on Thursday. His cause of death has not been announced.'
