Episode Overview

This Disgraceland episode explores the notorious case of Tay-K (born Taymor McIntyre, aka Tay-K47), charting his rapid rise from a 17-year-old hip hop hopeful to a fugitive wanted for murder, and the viral explosion that followed. Host Jake Brennan delves into Tay-K's background, the infamous home invasion-gone-wrong, his brazen escape from house arrest, the cultural phenomenon of "The Race," and the ways in which art and real crime became inseparable in Tay-K's story. All of this is set against the backdrop of hip hop’s persistent dance with authenticity and violence, from NWA to the social media age.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

The Mythology of Gangster Rap and Reality ([04:48]-[10:55])

• NWA and the Roots of Realness:
  Brennan reflects on how NWA’s Straight Outta Compton shaped both musical and mainstream perceptions of gang life and police brutality. The lines between art and lived experience were blurred but, as he observes, “their music was inspired and gangster as fuck. It was my first experience with art imitating life. Art that I appreciated, anyways.” ([07:42])

• The Continuing Cycle of Violence:
  Statistical context is provided—554 LA County gang homicides in 1989, 448 in 2000—emphasizing that the gang violence NWA spotlighted remains a grim reality ([09:15]).

Tay-K’s Early Life: Violence, Music, and Choices ([10:55]-[15:50])

• Crip Heritage and Relocation:
  Tay-K was born to parents associated with feuding LA Crip gangs, later moving from LA to Las Vegas, and eventually Texas after his father’s release from prison.

• A Determined Outcast:
  Detailing a childhood marked by instability, Brennan explains: “There were two roads out, robbing and rapping. He hedged his bets and pursued both.” ([15:20]) Tay-K’s initial foray into music with the Daytona Boys fizzles after a member is jailed for murder.

The Ethan Walker Home Invasion and Murder ([15:50]-[20:03])

• The Plan and Execution:
  A vivid narrative recounts how Tay-K (then 16) and associates allegedly plotted to rob Ethan Walker, lured by two girls, resulting in Walker being shot dead.

• Capture and Charges:
  The police rapidly piece together the crime with eyewitness testimonies, and Tay-K is arrested, facing his first murder charge.

House Arrest, Escape, and Internet Fame ([20:09]-[23:39])

• From Cooped Up to On the Run:
  Tay-K, now under house arrest, faces life or the death penalty. Brennan captures the calculated recklessness: “The decision was easy. Stay and you’re going to jail. Or worse, run and you could get caught. But fuck it. Maybe you release some music along the way, get your SoundCloud really going.”

• Viral Fandom:
  After cutting off his ankle monitor and tweeting “fuck this house arrest shit. Fuck 12. They gonna have to catch me on Hood,” Tay-K becomes an anti-hero on Twitter. Fans tweet variations of “Protect Tay K at all costs,” with his social media presence blending music, criminality, and internet celebrity ([21:20]).

• Crime Continues:
  Tay-K is suspected of robbing and assaulting a 65-year-old man in San Antonio during his flight, showing a pattern of escalating violence.

“The Race”: Art as Confession, Art as Evidence ([23:39]-[28:00])

• Music Video Shot on the Run:
  While a fugitive, Tay-K records “The Race,” depicting his real-life escape and criminal exploits. Host Jake Brennan remarks: “Every lyric is a depiction of his 17-year-old life at that moment. It’s all running, robbing, and killing. It was real. Real enough for detectives…” ([28:27])

• Instant Virality and Arrest:
  The video’s release triggers a social media explosion and, fueled by tips and the video’s authenticity, Tay-K is arrested within hours.

Infamy, Industry, and the Blurring of Fantasy/Reality ([28:00]-[32:33])

• Celebrity Co-signs & Chart Success:
  The “Free Tay-K” movement surges. Travis Scott tweets lyrics; remixes from 21 Savage, Tyga, and Lil Yachty surface. “The Race” captures Billboard chart spots (#70 debut, #44 peak), and label interest (88 Classic) follows—even as Tay-K faces capital murder charges ([29:16]).

• Who Profits from Notoriety?:
  Brennan sardonically suggests, “YouTube should be paying Tay K47's legal fees. After all, they're advertising against his video.” ([30:47])

• The Fine Line—or Lack Thereof:
  Contrasting Tay-K’s case with earlier generations of gangster rap, Brennan observes, “With NWA, there was an unseen line between art and life. … Tay K47, on the other hand, feels a lot more real ... there isn't a shred of daylight between what could be real and what could be fake.”

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

All timestamps exclude commercials and focus on core content.

• On Hip-Hop’s Realness:
  “Were cops really beating on dudes just for being black? Were rappers really living a gang life...? I was in Camp Real. How could anyone make this up? It was too wild.” — Jake Brennan ([07:08])

• Regarding Tay-K’s Upbringing:
  “Violence was in his blood. Robbery was a viable career path, murder an occupational hazard.” — Jake Brennan ([15:13])

• On the Cultural Craze:
  “‘Run Tay K.’ ‘I hope they never find Tay K.’ ‘Tay K can murder this pussy anytime.’ And the ubiquitous ‘Protect Tay K at All Costs.’ That one was retweeted over and over again.” — Jake Brennan ([21:46])

• On the Blurring of Crime and Performance:
  “Art imitating life. Tay K is seen in the video mugging for the camera and dancing around with a 9 millimeter. Every lyric is a depiction of his 17-year-old life at that moment. It's all running, robbing, and killing. It was real.” — Jake Brennan ([28:25])

• Summary of Legacy:
  “Let’s not forget two innocent people are dead and a 17-year-old is facing either life in prison or the death sentence. So all of it is also a disgrace.” — Jake Brennan ([32:20])

Overall Tone & Takeaways

• Edgy, Irreverent, and Candid: Jake Brennan threads humor and awe through his storytelling, but ultimately lands on a somber note about the real-life tragedies behind the spectacle.
• Deep Dive, Not Exoneration: The episode is less about solving the case and more about exploring the interplay of criminality, authenticity, and performance in the internet age.
• Cultural Critique: A recurring theme is the public’s (and the industry’s) fascination with—and appetite for—“realness,” even at the cost of glorifying violence and tragedy.

---

For listeners and non-listeners alike, this Disgraceland episode offers a gripping study of how the boundaries between life, art, and crime can collapse in the social media era—and of the costs borne along the way.

This episode is dedicated to my old friend Liz Tempesta. You are a true badass. Sending you all the PMA in the world, Liz all right, let's get into the show. The story surrounding 17 year old hip hop viral sensation TK47 is insane. He allegedly shot a man and then, while awaiting trial on house arrest, cut off his ankle bracelet and announced his escape to the world via Twitter. Then, while on the run, made and released a video depicting his escape where he is seen bragging about murder in assault, two charges that at the time he was facing art imitating life. The video's release led to his arrest in a matter of hours. The nationwide manhunt may have come to an end, but Tay K47's hip hop career was just getting started. His notoriety had caused his SoundCloud plays to go through the roof, and Twitter erupted in support of the young fugitive cum star. Celebrity remixes were released, record labels came calling, the song charted on Billboard, and the video was viewed over 100 million times.

Why?

[Jake Brennan]

Because it's great music. As real as it gets. That music you heard at the top of the show, that wasn't great music. It's far from real. It's a preset loop from my melotron called harmonium low mk2. I played you that loop because I can't afford the license for Shape of youf by Ed Sheeran. And why would I play you that specific slice of ginger cheese? Could I afford it? Because that was the number one song in America on March 27, 2017. And that was the day that Tay K47 escaped his house arrest. Or as he put it did the race, becoming one of America's most wanted fugitives and one of the Internet's biggest viral sensations in the process. On this episode, Low Harmoniums, Ginger Cheese, Busted ankle bracelets and Tay K47. I'm Jake Brennan and this is disgrace. You are now about to witness the strength of street knowledge is the line at the beginning of NWA's Straight Outta Compton. We all know the iconic song and album by now, its music so powerful that it has permanently singed itself upon America's cultural identity. You can't describe the history of hip hop without giving Straight Outta Compton its due, and you can't give an honest depiction of the history of Los Angeles without mentioning the album either. Straight Outta Compton accurately forecast one of America's blackest eyes, the Rodney King beating by the systematically racist LAPD and subsequent LA riots in 1992. And the album wasn't some obscure, preachy, pedantic musical statement about socioeconomic conditions and the plight of black America in Los Angeles at the time. It was a visceral depiction of life on Compton streets. And it was a stone cold hit. It sold over 3 million albums, a total banger of a record start to finish. Not a bad song on it, and it sounded different from any other hip hop at the time. It was hard. And the vocalists there were four frontmen, each voice nearly as powerful as the next. Sure, MC Ren was more of a player, Coach and Yellow filled the Ringo slot. But Eazy, E, ice Cube and Dr. Dre on straight Outta Compton were hip hop's answer to John, Paul and George. Except this wasn't Can't Find Me Love. This was Life ain't nothing but bitches and money. Ice Cube's lyrics brought the reality of growing up in South Central Los Angeles to suburban white American youth with authority. I know because I was a suburban white American youth in 1989, the year that NWA straight outta Compton made it to my little corner of middle America. And when it did, I was hooked. I wore that cassette out, memorized every lyric, every skit, every beat. I was fascinated. The stories were gripping. The big thing with my friends and I was was this shit real or were these guys making it all up? Were cops really beating on dudes just for being black? Were rappers really living a gang life, slinging dope and committing drive by shootings in between playing shows and making records? I was in Camp Real. How could anyone make this up? It was too wild. The truth, of course, was somewhere in the middle. Easy E had OG street cred with the crips But I'm pretty sure Ice Cube went to bed at night wearing matching pajamas. It didn't matter. Their music was inspired and gangster as fuck. It was my first experience with art imitating life. Art that I appreciated anyways. And so when Rodney King and the LA riots happened, it was just life imitating art. Like most of America, I was shocked as I watched the riots from the safety of my suburban couch. But unlike most of America, I can't say I was surprised. We knew this was gonna happen because NWA warned us. And when OJ got off, same Shocked, but not surprised. Unless you live in South Central or Long beach, or are a cop or a social worker or first responder or someone else working in the area, this is likely where the story of LA gang culture ends for you, culturally speaking anyways. But of course that's not true. Gang life in South Central and Long beach continues to be pretty much just as dangerous as it was when NWA burst on the scene. Statistics are hard to come by, what with LAPD underreporting violent crimes. But according to a report conducted by the LA County Board of Public Health, the year Straight Outta Compton was released 1989, there were 554 gang homicides in LA County. In the year 2000, there were 448. A vast majority of these deaths can be attributed to the perpetually feuding gangs the Bloods and the Crips. The Crips, the LA gang, NWA's Eazy E and MC Ren associated with boasts a worldwide membership of 35,000 gang members comprised of a network of countless individual gangs. The Nutty Block Crips, Lantana Block Crips, Long Beach Insane Crips, Southside Crips, Westside Crips, Cabbage Patch Crips and on and on and on. In the year 2000, a nutty block Compton crypt in a Long Beach Insane Crip gave birth to Tamor McIntyre. Born into one of America's most dangerous street gangs. No one knew it at the time. But 17 years later, just like those other products of Compton Street's nwa, this boy's art would so authentically imitate his life that it would land him on the Billboard charts and make him one of America's most wanted fugitives in the process.

By 2016, Tamor McIntyre had dropped the name his gang banging parents gave him for the preferred Tay K, short for Tay K47. Of course he did. That old NWA lyric was baked into the cake. Tay K47's life had already started imitating art. He may have only been a baby faced 16 year old, but he had hard eyes. Eyes that because of his upbringing had seen things other 16 year olds will never see. Violence was in his blood. Robbery was a viable career path, murder an occupational hazard. Even in shit. Fuck Texas, where he was now living. After his dad had gone away to prison, Tay K moved from LA to Las Vegas to live with his sister and when his dad got out, he moved the family to Arlington, Texas for a fresh start. And it sucked. There was nothing, nothing to do for Tay K. There were two roads out, robbing and rapping. He hedged his bets and pursued both. Rapping was a long shot. Tay K ed with the Daytona Boys, but Santana sage was serving 44 years on a murder charge and the group was a dead end. He decided to break out on his own and in 2015 uploaded his first song to sound. He'd seen other rappers like Lil Yachty break out big time through SoundCloud, so why not him? Lil Yachty had over a half million followers, ended up with a record deal. It was now modeling for Kanye West. Jesus, if that dude could do it. Tay K's first upload, Biff Zanin, grabbed some local attention but failed to light the Internet on fire. People were into it, but not enough to send Mr. Kim Kardashian knocking for the then 15 year old. It was A real come to Yeezus moment. So for the time anyways, it was robbing. The alleged plan was to stick up that boy, Ethan Walker, the one who always had the good weed and the stacks of cash. He was crazy for pussy. Like every other 21 year old dude on the planet. He'd be no match for the two girls. One of them wasn't much to look at, but she knew how to work it. And if she wasn't enough of a distraction, instinctively, Tay K knew that the other girl, the one with those eyes, she'd do the trick. They told Ethan they were on their way by his place to smoke him up. The girl's car hit the 1500 block of Aspen Court in Mansfield, Texas at around 10pm on July 25, 2016. They rang the bell and were buzzed in. Ethan locked the door behind them. He'd already been robbed before and didn't need that shit again. It was straight to the bedroom. Weed and then hopefully, sex. The weed was thick, sticky, you really had to get after it and break it up. While Ethan rolled a blunt, he tried making small talk with the girls. And they were acting weird, distracted, running in and out of the room, out to the kitchen, fucking with their phones, not making eye contact. Maybe they're already high. Supposedly the way the plan was to go off was that Tay K would text hit a lick to the girls. Hit a lick was code for home invasion. And on that cue, if the girls gave the okay, KK and his two boys who were outside would then bust in and rob Eth, take his weed and his money. The problem was that the girls were fucking things up. They're taking way too long to text back. Is it a go? Tay K texted nothing. Inside, girl number one was flirting with Ethan, but Ethan wasn't interested. He wanted girl number two, the one with the eyes, but she was smoking weed on the other side of the room, trying to play it cool. Then she wandered out to the kitchen again. She pulled out herself, texted the okay back to Tay K, and then unlocked the front door of the apartment. Taymor McIntyre, aka Tay K47, and two others allegedly burst through the door at that moment, guns out, shouting that this was a robbery and everyone needed to chill the out. Ethan knew what was up immediately. He extracted himself from girl number one's advances and got to his feet of a quick it all happened so fast. Before he could even get his head around the queasy feeling he the stomach, there was a bullet in there. He didn't even know where it came from. Or from who. And then nothing. Ethan Walker was dead, just like that. 21 years old and gone. Witnesses from over at Aspen Court gave police everything they needed to quickly piece together who might have been to blame for the robbery murder. And cops quickly rounded up all involved, including Tay k, who at 16 years old, had just caught his first murder charge.

[Public Investing Representative]

We'll be right back after this.

[Poshmark Advertiser]

Word, word, word.

[Jake Brennan]

House arrest sucked. As if shit fucked Texas wasn't bad enough. Now you had to spend your time, all your time, cooped up in this lifeless apartment. But being charged with capital murder did have its upside. Since the arrest and the press surrounding it, Tay K's SoundCloud plays had gone through the roof. Relatively speaking. Anyways, lesson learned. The more real your shit is, the more people are going to pay attention to you. Wait a minute. That's it. Fuck house arrest. What good was it doing what you're supposed to sit around for months waiting to be ushered to and from court, where you face either life in prison with no shot of parole or. Or a death sentence? No. How are you supposed to become a hip hop star like that? Hell, how are you supposed to rob anyone like that? The decision was easy. Stay and you're going to jail. Or worse, run and you could get caught. But fuck it. Maybe you release some music along the way, get your SoundCloud really going. Maybe you get some of that record label money. Or go back to Robin. How bad could life as a fugitive be? Probably beats the shit out of sitting around at home. So on March 27, 2017, Tay K, 47, cut his ankle bracelet off and sent out the following. Fuck this house arrest shit. Fuck 12. They gonna have to catch me on Hood. I'm not gonna lie. Had I seen that tweet in real time, I probably wouldn't have understood what the hell it meant. But the rest of the Twittersphere got it. Tay K was gone. He split. And as his escape picked up steam, so did his tweet. Now that Tay K was on the run from the law, he started to really blow up on SoundCloud. And hip hop fans weren't the only ones interested. Obviously. The United States Marshals Service listed him as a violent fugitive, released a wanted photo, and solicited the public for help in locating him. The public had other ideas. Fans took to Twitter almost immediately to tweet posts of support for Tay K, whose Twitter profile featured several videos and pictures of him posing with guns, cash, and dope. No matter. Tweets started pouring in from all over. Run Tay K. I hope they never find Tay K. Tay K can murder this pussy anytime. And the ubiquitous Protect Tay K at All Costs. That one was retweeted over and over again and used in the context of whatever was trending on Twitter that day. As in There's a hurricane coming to Houston. Protect Tay K at All Costs. Allegedly, Tay K headed from Arlington, Texas to San Antonio. Maybe the plan was to escape to Mexico. Maybe there was no plan at all. But in the absence of a plan, there was predictability rapping and robbing. Authorities suspect that while in San Antonio, Tay K robbed and assaulted a 65 year old man and shortly after made his escape, Tay K started sending new music to his manager, 16 year old Ezra Averell. One track was so good they decided they needed a video for its release to really take advantage of the social media wave Tay K's fugitive status had given him. So in late May 2017, Tay K, 47, a most wanted fugitive, somehow hooked himself up with his friends, presumably back in Texas to shoot the video.

The video looked great and the song slammed. Ezra knew they were onto something and Tay K knew he had to lam it again or else get caught. So he headed north and as he continued to run, his name continued to ring out on Twitter. The original plan was to release the video later that year, but the Internet wants what the Internet wants when the Internet wants it. So smartly, Ezra set up a deal with Miami rap collective Buffet Boys to release the video on their YouTube channel, and by the time Tay K arrived in Elizabeth, New Jersey on June 30, 2017, the video was ready for release. At 8:54pm Tay K47 tweeted out the video with the following feds can't hold me back. Here it go Tay K the Race Music Video Boom. Twitter blew up. The video was everything Ezra had hoped it would be. The opening shot shows a wanted poster of Tay K. The beat drops and as a viewer, you're immediately on board. Art imitating life. Tay K is seen in the video mugging for the camera and dancing around with a 9 millimeter. Every lyric is a depiction of his 17 year old life. At that moment. It's all running Robin and killing. It was real. Real enough for detectives to easily team with the numerous tips they'd been receiving from all over the country. And within hours of the video being released, Tay K47 was arrested. He was extradited from New Jersey back to Texas. As if the video wasn't enough, news of his capture pushed the video over the top. Freetake quickly became a thing. On Twitter, Travis Scott tweeted out a line from the race do the dash, then go out the way, giving the unknown rapper Hip Hop seal of approval. Remixes by massively popular artists like Tyga, 21 Savage, and yes, even Lil Yachty started showing up. The song debuted on the Billboard charts at number 70 and peaked at number 44. Rumors started circulating that RCA Records was interested in signing the young fugitive, despite news that he was going to be tried as an adult for capital murder. The rumors are partly true. RCA record exec Jay grand signed Tay K47 to his independent label, 88 Classic, but it remains to be seen if Tay K ever got hold of any of that record label cash. The video for the race, however, has been viewed over 100 million times. 100 million times. Someone's getting paid. YouTube should be paying Tay K47's legal fees. After all, they're advertising against his video. If I were Tamor McIntyre's manager, I'd be starting a new hashtag campaign. Forget Free Tay K. What about Pay Tay K legal fees, especially for two Capital Murder Charges can get expensive. Oh yeah. Authorities added another murder charge to Tay K after he was caught for the alleged murder of a victim outside a San Antonio fast food restaurant while on the run. More to the point, art imitating life can get expensive. Tay K47's rise in popularity has as much to do with his art as it does with his life. Rappers have been boasting and talking shit ever since the genre came to be. The more authentic those hip hop artists seemed, the wider their appeal. See Straight out of Compton as Exhibit A. But with NWA, there was an unseen line between art and life. You really couldn't see it, but you kind of knew it was there. That line made the artists a little less scary and a little more acceptable. Tay K47, on the other hand, feels a lot more real, maybe because of the viral DIY nature of it all. It's all super authentic. Unlike with nwa, there isn't a shred of daylight between what could be real and what could be fake. There is no no debate. It's all real life imitating life. And let's not forget two innocent people are dead and a 17 year old is facing either life in prison or the death sentence. So all of it is also a disgrace. I'm Jake Brennan and this is Disgrace.
