FKi is an American record production and songwriting team formed in 2007, in Atlanta, Georgia. The team is composed of Trocon "1st Down" Roberts, Jr. and Steven "Sauce Lord Rich" Bolden. They got their start in the music industry as engineers, after receiving their respective degrees from Full Sail University in 2009. In 2011, FKi had the opportunity to work at Atlanta-based production studio, Collipark Music, where the duo met music producer Mr. Hanky, who then introduced them to southern rap group Travis Porter; which eventually led to FKi producing the hits "Make It Rain" and "Bring It Back", for the aforementioned group. FKi went on to produce music for several prominent recording artists, including Iggy Azalea, T.I., Juicy J, YG, Travis Scott, Tyga and more.
1st Down and Sauce Lord Rich grew up together in Atlanta, Georgia and have been working together ever since. When they first met they realized they had the same music interests and tastes; (other than the arguments they would have over Jay Z and Nas) and started to build their own production company. The duo decided to go to school to perfect their craft by attending Full Sail University, studying audio engineering.
FKi subsequently began working with Collipark Music, where they were introduced to Travis Porter and produced the singles "Make it Rain" and "Bring it Back", inside a basement with a microphone and an Mbox.
FKi met American EDM producer Diplo, at a small local club in Atlanta and introduced him to their longtime friend and frequent collaborator Iggy Azalea. They flew out to Los Angeles to Mad Decent studios and went on to executive produce Azalea's TrapGold mixtape. Which led to them opening for her TrapGold European tour. The video for "I Think She Ready" became the world's first interactive shoppable music video.
