The crime drama series, produced by rapper In Da Club, follows the true story of brothers Demetrius ‘Big Meech’ and Terry ‘Southwest T’ Flenory, who created one of the most influential crime families in American history.

The founders of the “Black Mafia Family” built the country’s most prominent drug distribution network and came into contact with Deion in the early 1990s while he was playing for the Atlanta Falcons.

“They were introduced by a mutual acquaintance during Meech’s time in Atlanta while Deion was playing for the Falcons,” Starz said in an email. according to USA Today.

“Meech was scheduled to visit Deion’s club in Atlanta, aptly named ‘Prime Time 21′ because of Sanders’ nickname and jersey number.”

Showrunner Heather Zuhlke wanted to ensure that the production was as historically accurate as possible, which led to the casting of Shilo as his father in his younger years.
