Bryan Lamar Simmons (born April 4, 1987), known professionally as TM88, is an American record producer. He is part of the Atlanta-based record production team 808 Mafia, as one of its lead members alongside Southside. Simmons produced the 2017 hit single "XO Tour Llif3" by Lil Uzi Vert, which peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 and received diamond certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). His other notable production credits include songs for Young Thug, Future, Gucci Mane, Migos, Wiz Khalifa, and Juicy J; he formed the group TGOD Mafia with the latter two in 2016, with whom he released a collaborative studio album in June of that year.

Early life and career

Bryan Lamar Simmons was born on April 4, 1987, in Miami, Florida. He lived in Eufaula, Alabama before settling in Atlanta, Georgia.

In 2009, Simmons, aged 22, began producing instrumentals for Slim Dunkin, an artist on Brick Squad Monopoly before his murder in late 2011. He was introduced to Southside, whom he started working with. Southside later invited him to join his production team 808 Mafia. In 2012, TM88 had his first major placement as a solo producer on Waka Flocka Flame's song "Lurkin", which was on his second studio album Triple F Life: Friends, Fans & Family.

In 2013, Simmons worked with Gucci Mane, and landed a placement on his commercial mixtape, Trap House III (2013). He was later credited on Future's second studio album, Honest on the track "Special".
