Episode 15 “Do What You Gotta Do”

Author: Breakbeat Media May 20, 2022 Duration: 33:19
This week After The Snow covers Season 1, Episode 3 of Snowfall. Our co-hosts Dave and Rick bring the listeners up to date on the latest happenings in their worlds. After Franklin got robbed and beaten at the end of the last episode, Rick advises not to “walk around with all your savings in a backpack.” Franklin is out to get his money back and recruits Leon and a local gangster to help. Rick talks about what the gang structure was like at this time and runs down all of the major housing projects in LA. Dave and Rick talk more about Oso and agree he is one of the most likable and loyal characters. Viewers learn that CIA agent/international drug trafficker Teddy has a new baby and may have to choose between his country and his family. The hosts comment on how Franklin thinks he can talk the guy who robbed him into giving up the location of his stolen cash.

There’s the story you watched unfold on television, and then there’s the raw, unfiltered reality that inspired it. After the Snow bridges that gap entirely. This isn’t a standard recap; it’s a weekly conversation directly with the man who lived it: activist, entrepreneur, and former drug kingpin Freeway Rick Ross, whose own life provided the blueprint for the hit series Snowfall. Each episode, Ross sits down with a hip-hop mogul to unpack not just the show, but the true, staggering events behind it. You’ll hear firsthand accounts of ambition and empire-building that defy belief, tangled with CIA conspiracies and the brutal mechanics of a multi-billion dollar international drug trade. The podcast, produced by Breakbeat Media, moves beyond the screen to explore the complex legacy of that era and the person Ross became in its aftermath. It’s a rare, direct line to a chapter of history often shrouded in myth, told with the clarity and perspective that only time can provide. Tune in every Thursday for these essential conversations, where the legend finally gets to tell his own story.
