On the recent episode of my podcast Slauson Girl Speaks I have a very personal conversation with Freeway Rick Ross, who is a notorious South Central, L.A kingpin from the 80’s/90’s crack era. We talk about FX’s hit series Snowfall, life in South Central, Los Angeles through the decades for African-Americans, his life growing up and what led him to becoming a drug dealer.
Although he has done countless interviews on his life and court cases, this conversation is a little different. The former crack dealer speaks with a “crack baby” about the impacts of the crack era on the inner city community of South Central, L.A now known as “South L.A.”
