As we documented in our Issue 57 cover story, Future’s ties to Atlanta come from more than giving them street anthem after street anthem. It’s more than music or hustling-Nayvadius Wilburn’s relationship with the community there comes from generations of family, of blood. And though it’d taken him until his late 20s to really break into the game, it’s hard to say the wait wasn’t worth it if you look back at his output in 2015. But, as any well-read fan knows, Future’s been in the game for years, earning writing credits or grinding on the Altanta mixtape circuit before he achieved the mainstream success he has today. One of the oft-mentioned but least-explored part of that legacy is Future’s time spent with the Dungeon Family, the legendary recording studio and collective that launched the careers of groups like OutKast and Goodie Mob. In the dungeon, Organized Noize was the defacto production group-in-residence, with member Rico Wade, who owned the studio, also happening to be Future’s cousin.
This was all years ago, but the experiences he had living with Rico and watching the inner workings of the Dungeon shaped a young Future into the superstar he is today. During our recent trip to Atlanta, we stopped by the Organized Noize art exhibit with Future in tow for an impromptu meeting with his cousin. In the above clip, the two reminisce about an unreleased Future/André 3000 track (!), soaking up game from the greats, and Future’s humble nature, even as a youth. Revealing and honest (no pun intended), it’s rare insight into the usually interview-shy artist’s humble beginnings. Stay tuned for part two of the interview tomorrow, where Future and Rico delve into his slow rise to success in his early 20s.

Sad day for the city. Sad day for rap. Sad day for music. Sad week for music with Mister Cee and now, Rico Wade gone. This sucks, man. What legacies for the both of them. Rest well.
RIP legend/og Rico.. glad he put Future on different type of mindset. Rico deserve better.
RIP Rico Wade..legend
This is what he meant on “Never Stop”. RIP Rico ❤
RIP Rico Wade 🐐 thank you for all the work you’ve put in with Outkast, Future, and the rest of the Dungeon Family
Future's ethos is HUGE. From this interview piece on its own, I feel that he embodies almost a 'gatekeeper' role in Atlanta right now. He's SEEN greatness happen just by being so closely affiliated with the Dungeon Family growing up, and now he knows how to pull the strings and work his craft into the success he wants in his favor, every time. Damn, from that life, to fucking with Esco at the strip clubs.... his DNA is ATL 100.

This was really interesting. Good job Mass Appeal.
best future interview ive seen
Good to see Future in this type of setting and reminiscing.
Love that explanation of how Future transformed himself to want to get legal money and spent so much time just as a fly on the wall watching the game be played without participating until his time came, awesome humbleness and great show between Rico Wade & Future together, thank you Mass Appeal for putting this conversation together on wax yo :)

If you don't know what the fuck trill is this video is the definition of that shit. Future ain't no ride the wave type dude he is a trill ass being. I can say that with 100% confidence after listening to the way he talks about all this shit. His music speaks for itself though you can tell he means what he says.

Okay I gave him credit with his music but he needs to learn to respect his baby mothers cool you may not care about and that's cool but calling them bitches on social media outlets is not cool at all. It's comes a when you have to grow up and learn to speak less and let your lawyers handle your business and keep your personal life out the news and off social media handle your affairs quickly.

lol you don't know a damn thing about him or his life so what the hell are you talking about?! Ciara is a bitch. She went out of her way to get pictures of their son hanging with Russell just to be petty as hell. She is a bitch. She does not respect him why should he have to respect someone that does not respect him? The man always gets the bad rep when the woman is just as guilty if not more guilty of starting drama.
