Tay Keith on Those Who Initially ‘Doubted’ His Work With Sexyy Red: ‘I Saw the Potential’

As Keith explained, some “doubted” his work with Sexyy at first. Undeterred thanks to his aforementioned ability to see her potential as an artist, the two are now working on a full-length collab project after notching a run of memorable singles together, breakout hit “Pound Town” and last month’s “Get It Sexyy” among them.

Last May, Sexyy spoke with Eric Skelton for Complex about the ubiquity of “Pound Town” and the unique sense of humor and self-awareness in her music. She also shouted out a number of artists who inspired her prior to her own artistic trajectory, including Project Pat, Juicy J, Three 6 Mafia, “Memphis flows” at large, and more.

As further testament to her and Keith’s proven power as a duo, “Get It Sexyy” is currently sitting at No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.
