Chambers was a Memphis-born music producer who famously became a Grammy nominee after co-producing Travis Scott's 2018 track Sicko Mode featuring Drake.

The song, which is featured on Scott's critically acclaimed album Astroworld, was nominated for Best Rap Song at the 61st annual Grammy Awards in 2019.

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 ultimately Sicko Mode, which helped Scott achieve his first-ever number one single on the Billboard Hot 100.

Chambers is credited as co-producer along with Rogét Chahayed, Hit-Boy, OZ, Cubeatz and Mike Dean.

Sicko Mode 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 earned a second Grammy nomination for Best Rap Song last year for producing Drake and 21 Savage's 2024 hit Rich Flex.

Over the years, he also produced songs for the likes of popular artists like Beyonce, Doja Cat, Sexyy Red, Jack Harlow, Chris Brown, Gunna and Lil Baby; seen in 2024

His work with Beyonce appeared as a bonus track titled Before I Let Go on her 2019 live album Homecoming.

Most recently, Chambers co-produced Brown's latest album Brown with the likes of Metro Boomin and RoccStar.

It was released in May of this year. Chambers's songs often feature one of two tag lines, with his most famous — and most explicit — being, 'Tay Keith, f**k these n****s up!'
