This week on After The Snow, Dave and Rick take a deep dive into some of the realities of the criminal justice system here in the U.S. They speak on the oxymoron of how brainwashed society is about the incarcerated community, even though it houses some of the most brilliant minds. Rick expresses his gratitude of being able to have told his life story to various outlets in interviews while locked up - which was a privilege in its own right, since that’s no longer allowed post 9/11. Dave introduces us to the Hip-Hop Political Education Summit, an organization he and Bakari Kitwana (bestselling author & founder of Rap Sessions) launched over the pandemic in 2020.Their focus is to provide life-saving information to the Hip-Hop community, preparing each citizen for their role in transforming policy and building political power. After stressing the importance of working together to achieve shared goals, they naturally turn to this week’s Season 2 premiere of Snowfall where community is flourishing… or so we think. After Season 1’s finale episode where we see things coming to a head, we jump back into the mix 4 months later to see Franklin and crew surrounded with cash, Teddy receiving praises from “The Company,” and Gustavo + Lucia with their family issues behind them. What we don’t anticipate are the challenges of maintaining this flow of (perceived) success. Business was booming… until it wasn’t. A story very similar to Rick’s. Supply issues were a real concern at one point for Rick after finding out that his initial supplier, Ivan, had been shot AND paralyzed…by his wife! Talk about a plot twist. This put Rick in a bind for about 9 months… and during this time Rick found himself involuntarily buying $80,000 worth… of CAKE MIX! Tap in for the run down!
