RECAP: SNOWFALL SEASON 1, EPISODE 8 “BABY TEETH” Things have settled a bit for Rick and Dave as they’re both after several weeks of travel and impact. Rick shares insights from his most recent book “21 Keys of Success” and how it came to be. It’s the follow up to his first book, “Freeway Rick Ross: The Untold Autobiography” which was released 8 years ago this month. He recalls having demo copies of his book around the same time that his documentary “Freeway: Crack in the System” premiered. Rick shares that John Singleton, creator of Snowfall, was one of the first to pick up his autobiography, a demo copy at that. In this week’s episode, we find the crew anxious to take their first steps into the dope game. They have their newfound product on hand, and they’re ready to hit the streets… only thing is, they must build a team AND create the market. Rick recounts just how lucrative the game was. He had deals bringing in six-figure profits… and this was in the ‘80s! As entertaining as the episode was watching Leon and Kevin get their Costco on…giving away free samples to the community…Rick can’t help but note how the characters feel a bit disconnected from what street life really was like at this time. Rick continues to open up about where he was mentally and how being incarcerated never broke who he was and the freedom he desired. He outlines a few details of the case that got him locked up and how the system tried to play him to the left. The ends with the biggest cliffhanger to date which spawns a conversation with Rick discussing his relationship with Nipsey Hussle, despite the differences between their respective hoods. Tap in with us!
