He has recorded and performed with musicians in the Netherlands, South Africa, Senegal, and several other countries. During his travels, he has had the opportunity of studying abroad in the Dominican Republic at Universidad Iberoamericana (UNIBE).
He is currently active in the Little Africa Food Cooperative. Taye has also participated in fundraisers, food drives, and back-to-school giveaways for people in need in Cleveland, Haiti, the Philippines, Cape Verde, and other countries.
As an author, Taye published his first book, The Afro Set. This is the unsung story of the “Afro Set Black Nationalist Party for Self Defense”, an organization that was founded in the city of Cleveland.
As the Black Power movement immerged, the Afro Set would be at the forefront as one of the most feared Black Nationalist groups in the entire state of Ohio. The AfroSet encouraged self-defense, community policing, education, economic independence, black unity, and black pride. They opened several shops in Cleveland, Columbus, and West Virginia.
Members of the Afro Set have worked with A.D King, Stokely Carmichael, The Black Panthers, Revolutionary Action Movement (RAM), Mae Mallory, Deacons for Defense, Jim Brown, Maulana Karenga, US Organization, Amiri Baraka, and many more.
