Who voiced the Tay Keith tag — and where did it come from?
Tay Keith found his tag by crowdsourcing: he asked for submissions on Twitter, and Clarksville rapper Lil Juice sent in a handful of takes. The one that stuck sounds like a hype man mid-session rather than a produced drop — which is exactly why it works.
Because the tag exploded on BlocBoy JB records — “Rover”, then “Look Alive” with Drake in 2018 — it's widely assumed BlocBoy voiced it. He didn't; his early collaborations actually used a different drop (“Tay Keith produced this”).
The tag's aggressive energy became shorthand for the Memphis bounce sound of the late 2010s, stamped on records for Travis Scott, Drake and Beyoncé.
What songs use the Tay Keith tag?
- Look Alive — BlocBoy JB ft. Drake (2018)
- SICKO MODE — Travis Scott (2018)
- Jimmy Cooks — Drake ft. 21 Savage (2022)
How to make a tag like Tay Keith's (without copying it)
You can't use “Tay Keith, f*** these n***** up” on your own beats: it is Tay Keith's signature, and putting another producer's name or their original tag audio on your work misleads the artists and listeners who hear it. What you can borrow is the structure. Here is how this one is built.
- It is 6 words long, short enough to land before the first downbeat.
- The producer's name is inside the line, so the tag doubles as a credit. That is the one part you should always copy: put your own name in yours.
- It is voiced by Lil Juice (Martavion Spears), not by Tay Keith. Most famous tags work like this: a friend, an artist or a clip said the line once and the producer kept it. If you have a collaborator with a distinctive voice, ask them; otherwise pick an AI voice pad that matches the energy.
- For Memphis Rap beats, the TRAP preset (pitched down two semitones, reverb, stutter) is the closest starting point.
Write your own line with your name in it, then open the producer tag generator, pick a voice or record yourself, and start from the TRAP style preset. For more phrase starters see 50 producer tag ideas.
