TIA Texas rapper Tay-K has been sentenced to
a total of 55 years after being found guilty of murder and three counts of aggravated robbery
stemming from a 2016 home invasion in Tarrant County, Texas.
His sentencing comes a week after the 19-year-old pled guilty to two counts of aggravated robbery,
but not guilty to capital murder stemming from the death of 21-year-old Ethan Walker.
We here find the defendant, Tamar Travon Aaron, guilty of the lesser included of murder.
On July 19, Tay-K was found not guilty on a capital murder charge that carried a mandatory
prison sentence of 40 years, but was still found guilty of murder and robbery and sentenced
on July 23.
Tay-K's sentencing comes two years after he first blew up in mid-2017 with his track,
The Race.
The song quickly went viral online, sparked a number of remixes, peaked at No.
44 on the
Billboard Hot 100 chart, and even went platinum.

[A] [Bb] The track was recorded after Tay-K cut off his ankle monitor while under house arrest
pending his trial and ran from the cops.
And after he was caught, he released his project, Santana World.

The Race remained popular after Tay-K's arrest, both as a catchy track and as a meme.
The following year, he was still releasing songs like,
After You and his Block Boy JB collaboration, Hard.
But in the lead up to and duration of his highly publicized trial, many fans wondered
just how his lyrics, which literally talked about running from the law, might play out
in the courtroom, since copies of The Race's lyrics were reportedly given to the jury.

[Eb] It might be that the song is used to show that look, right?
He knew he'd been charged.
He was on house arrest.
He [E] cut off his ankle monitor, fled the jurisdiction, right?
And look, this song indicates he [G] thought he was guilty.
That's Professor Andrea Dennis, a law professor at the University of Georgia and the author
of a 2007 study on the use of hip-hop lyrics in court cases.
Genius spoke to Professor Dennis back in October 2018 about how a rapper's lyrics may come
back to haunt them in the courtroom.
The song is about being on the run after being charged with multiple crimes.
And if you look at the lyrics, a literal, simplistic translation might suggest that
[E] he tried to be the case, but he didn't, so he fled the jurisdiction.
[A]
[C] As it stands, Tay-K is still facing another robbery charge and another murder charge for
his alleged involvement in two separate incidents in 2017 while still on the run from police.
