A Look Back at Tay K’s ‘#SantanaWorld’

Published

on

It’s such a shame that the world didn’t get wind of Tay K until “The Race,” because, at that time, he really was doing the race. His future was sealed; a couple of alleged murders and an armed robbery and assault had put out the growing fire that was his place in rap. He managed to hit the Billboard charts off the strength of the endlessly catchy single “The Race” that made clear his flight from the law. Then on July 28, his debut mixtape #SantanaWorld hit streaming services. It was released through 88 Classic, Sony, and RCA Records; it had to be the real deal. Fans were eager to download it as well as people interested in seeing what he had to offer besides controversy.

It turns out that Tay K had plenty. #SantanaWorld was, from front to back, angry adolescent rap with an excessive violent streak. The beats were loud and crisp, an assortment of grainy and wistful textures contributing to an entire project of ear worms. “Murder She Wrote” was a mesmerizing maze of flows pushed by beautiful, futuristic production. “I Luv My Choppa” channelled Easy E’s tiny energy for an impactful ode to early 90’s gangsta rap. Song in and song out, Tay K tried on beats like they were clothes at JCPenney’s, taking great care to wear them properly then grabbing something else when he was finished.

With him facing multiple life sentences, it seems like we’ll never truly see the growth of his career. The elusive “it” factor that escapes many rising artists, Tay K had in oodles. He was never one for talking about his talent – he just showed it. But his choices now have placed him on a crash course with destiny where the finish line is catastrophic failure.
