"OG Mr. Rick sits down for an intriguing interview with Freeway Ricky Ross. ""Freeway"" Rick Ross built a $900 million drug empire selling crack cocaine in 1980s Los Angeles. Despite starting as an illiterate high school dropout, he became a self-made multimillionaire. Ross played a major role in popularizing crack cocaine, which led to widespread addiction and turmoil in local communities. After receiving a life sentence, he was eventually released and reinvented himself.

Although Ross wasn’t responsible for inventing the drug or smuggling it into the United States, he played a significant role in making it popular. Throughout most of the 1980s, he managed to promote his product as a notorious entrepreneur in Los Angeles and elsewhere. While his business flourished, people living in nearby communities faced poverty, addiction, violence, and widespread chaos." Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
