Beam

Career According to Thompson's father, he started producing at age ten. He formed the now-disbanded production duo 808&Elite with Matt Massaro.

He first received notice when he produced for Andy Mineo on the tracks "Young", featuring KB, and "Michael Jackson", featuring Thi'sl, Rich Perez, R-Swift, and Bubba Watson, from the mixtape Formerly Known in 2011. He also appeared in the final episode of the web-series Saturday Morning Car-Tunez, created by Andy Mineo, where he helped remix the Puff Daddy song "It's All About the Benjamins". On July 6, 2012, Thompson and Matt Massaro, under the name 808&Elite, released the single "Me Monster", featuring Andy Mineo, from their upcoming beat-tape, Diamonds x Pearls. The tape was made available two days later for free download exclusively through the Christian hip-hop website Rapzilla. Thompson's talent was praised by critics when he and ThaInnaCircle produced the bass-heavy, East Coast style, reggae and dancehall-influenced song "Violence" by Lecrae from the Grammy-winning album Gravity, released on September 4, 2012. In October 2012, Thompson competed at the second Annual Rapzilla.com Beat Battle at the 2012 Flavor Fest. Thompson, his father Papa San and brother Tyrone Andrew, are working on a collaborative project. In addition to his work with his father and brother, Lecrae, and Andy Mineo, Tyshane has produced, both independently and as part of 808 & Elite, for artists such as 2 Chainz, Yo Gotti, G-Eazy, Xavier Omär, and Asaiah Ziv.

He was featured by Beyoncé on her 2022 album Renaissance, on the song "Energy".

He co-wrote the track "Burn" from ¥$ (Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign) album Vultures 1, released on 10 February 2024.
