2011. Atlanta. The set of "Same Damn Time"
Nobody in this room knew what they were standing in the middle of yet.
That's Rocko, the man who signed Future to A1 when he was still calling himself Meathead. Rocko told him drop the Meathead, just be Future, and executive produced his first six albums. Every "Pluto" every "Turn On The Lights" every ad-lib you still quote, it ran through this man first.
And that's Big Bank in the cut. Duct Tape. Zone 6. Before Big Facts, before Perspektives, before he built the biggest platform in the culture, he was just there, in the trenches, doing the work.
Fourteen years later one of them built the sound and the other built the room the whole culture talks in.
This footage has never been online. Not one frame. Been sitting on it and we have plenty more! Stay tuned!
🎥 @grindhd the archive nobody else has.
