Episode 16 “Sacrifice”

Episode 16 “Sacrifice”

Author: Breakbeat Media May 27, 2022 Duration: 47:34
After The Snow gets into S1 Ep4 of Snowfall. Rick talks about his recent visit to Chicago where he was able to re-unite with an old friend from prison who was part of the Larry Hoover case. Rick recalls his determination to get free despite having a life sentence. Dave informs the audience about Breakbeat’s upcoming Larry Hoover life story podcast series and provides an update on Larry Hoover’s current legal situation. Rick visits a vegan restaurant in Washington, DC and he and Dave discuss the idea of reviewing vegan spots around the country. In the show, Oso is recovering from a stab wound and Lucia uses cocaine to numb the pain. Rick points out that dentists used to use cocaine and then novocaine, a “cousin” of cocaine. Teddy has used his “super powers” to locate Alejandro’s rebel camp in the Nicaraguan jungle and somehow figures out that the kid there is a spy. Teddy forgets that he has a son, so Rick and Dave talk about their own experiences and how it can be necessary to make sacrifices when you are focused on pursuing your dreams. Franklin and Leon have a body in the trunk that suddenly awakens, reminding Dave of the opening scene from the movie Goodfellas. The hosts acknowledge the passing of actor Ray Liotta and talk about the recent school shooting in Texas.

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.
