He is the son of dancehall and gospel reggae pioneer Papa San.[1] According to Thompson's father, he started producing at age ten.[2] 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 album Formerly Known in 2011.[1][2] In 2012 he produced the highly popular, Jamaican-tinged song "Black Rose" by Lecrae on the mixtape Church Clothes.[1][2][3] 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".[1][4] In 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.[5] The tape was made available two days later for free download exclusively through the Christian hip-hop website Rapzilla.[6] 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.[7][8][9] In October, 2012, Thompson competed at the second Annual Rapzilla.com Beat Battle at the 2012 Flavor Fest.[10] Thompson, his father Papa San and brother Tyrone Andrew, are working on a collaborative project.[2] 808 & Elite now produces under Street Symphony's Track or Die label.[11] 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, Tedashii, Tracy T, SPZRKT, and KIDD.
