Taymor Travon McIntyre (b. June 16, 2000), popularly known as Tay-K, is an American rapper and songwriter originating from Arlington, Texas.

Tay-K started his rap career as part of the rap group Daytona Boyz alongside rappers PiMPYZ and Santana Sage in 2014. The group released their first track “Drift” on SoundCloud in December 2014. The group released a series of songs, barely getting attention as they performed at various parties attempting to create a presence in the local rap scene. Tay-K began to get nationwide attention due to his conflicts with the law.

On July 26, 2016, Tay-K and six other people were arrested on murder charges due to a home invasion gone wrong. The juvenile rapper was placed under house arrest. Eventually, Tay-K decided to flee the law. Before cutting off his ankle monitor and going on the run, Tay-K took to Twitter and tweeted the following:

fuck dis house arrest shit fuck 12 they gn hav 2 catch me on hood

Tay-K made his way to Elizabeth, New Jersey where he recorded his hit song “The Race”. On June 30, 2017, he was captured by the U.S Marshal Service in New Jersey. On July 23, 2019, Tay-K was sentenced to 55 years in prison. He will not be eligible for parole until he serves at least half of his sentence.

Since his arrest, his management team still continued to release tracks such as “The Race (Remix)” assisted by fellow artists 21 Savage and Young Nudy, “Hard” featuring No Jumper and BlocBoy JB, and “After You”.
