Freeway: Crack in the System Premiere's in Atlanta

(DJ Drama with Freeway Rick Ross)

Many of us may simply know Freeway Rick Ross as "The Real Rick Ross", the man in which rapper Rick Ross named himself after. Others may even know that he was a very notorious drug dealer in the '80s during the height of the crack epidemic. What we many not know is the role that the US Government played in the infiltration of crack cocaine into the minority community, and that is what the documentary Freeway: Crack in the System touches on.
