Tay Keith - the producer behind some of Drake and Travis Scott's biggest rap hits - has died at the age of 29.
According to WSMV, the star - born Brytavious Lakeith Chambers - was found deceased at his Nashville, Tennessee apartment on Thursday following a wellness check.
Metro Nashville Police confirmed Chambers's death to the outlet and stated that 'no foul play is suspected.'
A cause of death has yet to be determined.
Chambers is a Memphis-born music producer who became a Grammy nominee for co-producing Travis Scott's 2018 track Sicko Mode featuring Drake.
The song, which is featured on Scott's critically acclaimed alum Astroworld, was nominated for Best Rap Song at the 61st annual Grammy Awards in 2019.

Chambers began pursuing a career in music producing when he was just 14 years old by publishing his original songs and remixes to YouTube.
He gained mainstream recognition in 2018 when he produced the viral hit Rover for friend and rapper BlocBoy JB, who he has worked with since 2015.
Chambers also produced the hit BlocBoy JB songs Shoot and Look Alive, which notably featured Drake.
The success of BlocBoy JB's songs opened doors for Chambers in the industry, leading him to work with the likes of Scott and even rap legend Eminem.
In 2018, he produced Eminem's Machine Gun Kelly diss track Not Alike and Drake's single Nonstop.
However, Chambers's biggest hit of 2018 was Sicko Mode, which helped Scott achieve his first-ever number one single on the Billboard Hot 100.
It also became the first-ever hip hop song to spend at least 32 weeks in the chart's top 10.
According to Billboard, this is a feat that has only ever been achieved by five other songs in the chart's history.
Chambers has also collaborated with the likes of popular rappers like Gunna and Lil Baby.
Chambers's songs all feature one of two tag lines, with his most famous - and most explicit - being, 'Tay Keith, f**k these n****s up!'
