Weeks ago, it was reported that Roc-A-Fella co-founder Kareem "Biggs" Burke was back in the game, with the unveiling of a management company, his first client: cult favorite SAINt JHN. But he's since spoken with Revolt TV for an interview where he deconstructed his plans to produce a biopic for the record label he helped bring to life in the 90s.

"Yeah, I’m working on it now," Biggs told Revolt TV. "It’ll probably be separate stories of Jay, Damon [Dash] and myself. Showing us as kids to understand what we've went through -- the pain and hardships."

As he opined himself, Biggs has already laid out the storytelling framework, with three separate converging narratives, elucidating the come-up story of the three founding fathers of the ROC, himself included. In the Revolt interview, Biggs spoke about his struggles living in homeless shelters before the hitting pay dirt with the formidable three. He also hopes to gain a clearance that would allow him to retell Jay-Z's early struggles of losing his father at the age of four and the similarly tragic circumstances that plagued a teenage Dame Dash.
