Bankroll Mafia is an American hip hop collective from Atlanta, Georgia. The collective manifested in 2015, after southern rappers T.I.P., Young Thug and Shad da God began frequently and closely working together. Other Atlanta-based rappers also joined the collective, including Peewee Roscoe, Lil Duke and London Jae. In an interview with Billboard, T.I.P. 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." The collective released their self-titled debut album in April 2016.
In 2009, T.I. signed Georgia-based hip hop group Rich Kids, to Grand Hustle Records. After the group left the label in 2011, Rich Kids member Rich Kid Shawty stayed with the Grand Hustle imprint, subsequently appearing on the T.I. mixtapes, Fuck a Mixtape (2010) and Fuck da City Up (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).
