Bankroll Mafia is an American hip hop collective from Atlanta, Georgia. The collective was formed in 2015, after American rappers T.I., Young Thug and Shad da God began frequently working together. Other Atlanta-based rappers also joined the collective, including Label No Genre’s London Jae, and Young Thug's close affiliates Peewee Roscoe and Lil Duke. In an interview with Billboard, T.I. described the group's dynamic as "a collective that includes a lot of personal and professional constituents throughout the industry, in and out of our elements."{{cite web|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/7341883/bankroll-mafia-ti-young-thug-members|title=Meet Bankroll Mafia, Atlanta's New Rap Supergroup Including T.I., Young Thug & More|work=Billboard|date=April 26, 2016}} The collective released their self-titled debut album in April 2016.
History
===Background and formation===
In 2009, T.I. signed Georgia-based hip hop group Rich Kids, to his label, Grand Hustle Records.{{Cite web |url=http://www.atlnightspots.com/rich-kid-shawty-talks-rich-kids-split-t-i-girls/ |title=Rich Kid Shawty Talks Rich Kids Split, T.I. & Girls – Atlnightspots |access-date=October 3, 2016 |archive-date=October 5, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161005064259/http://www.atlnightspots.com/rich-kid-shawty-talks-rich-kids-split-t-i-girls/ |url-status=dead }}{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcryPi_iKU8|title = - YouTube|website = YouTube}} After the group left the label in 2011, Rich Kids member Rich Kid Shawty stayed with the Grand Hustle imprint, subsequently appearing on T.I.'s mixtapes, Fuck a Mixtape (2010) and Fuck da City Up (2012).{{Cite web|url=http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/t-i-fuck-a-mixtape-hosted-by-dj-drama-and-dj-mlk-mixtape.1188.html|title = Fuck a Mixtape (Hosted by DJ Drama & DJ MLK)|website = HNHH|date = May 28, 2010}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/t-i-f-ck-da-city-up-mixtape.39928.html|title=F*ck da City up|website=HNHH|date=January 2012}} In 2012, Rich Kid Shawty changed his moniker to Rich Kid Shad and later Shad da God.
In 2014, T.I. began collaborating with up-and-coming Atlanta-based rapper Young Thug, who released his breakout single "Stoner", in February of that year. In June, the two released their first collaboration, "About the Money" from T.I.'s Paperwork (2014), which reached number 42 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. The two later went on to collaborate on several songs, namely "Off-Set" from Furious 7 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (2015), "Can't Tell" from Barter 6 (2015) and "Can I" from Quality Street Music 2 (2016).
In 2009, Peewee Roscoe had appeared on T.I.'s MTV reality show, Road to Redemption, where T.I. hoped to encourage teenagers to avoid spending a life of crime by showing seven teenagers that there is another way.{{Cite web|url=http://rapradar.com/2015/05/29/arrest-made-in-lil-wayne-bus-shooting/|title=Arrest Made in Lil Wayne Bus Shooting|date=May 29, 2015 }} With help from T.I., Roscoe broke into the hip hop industry, eventually working with fellow Atlanta-based rapper Young Thug and becoming his road manager. In May 2015, Thug and Roscoe revealed they were no longer affiliated with Birdman's Rich Gang.http://hiphopoverload.com/young-thug-announces-he-has-left-rich-gang-and-no-longer-is-affiliated/{{Dead link|date=June 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
