You know Pinkman from Breaking Bad? If he got sober, he would be my boy Rickey Dolla Green! EP 91 The High Cost of Anonymity Podcast: Exploring the Cost of Keeping Your Life Experience to Yourself

- Education
I'm not sure this could get any more stereotypical. A young white boy raised in a mobile home park by a single mother struggling with mental health and an alcoholic father who was never around. In the 6th grade, this young boy finds that selling drugs gave him a strong dose of the attention he never knew he craved. Later, this turned into a life of cooking meth, selling every drug his clientele requested and imitating what he heard on gangster rap records.
In a matter of a few years, this young man, Rickey, aka Dolla Green, went from riding hi and making bank to not even being able to support his own habit. Multiple felonies, prison, homeless shelters, and a lucky break that landed him in drug rehab, Rickey turned his life around. He has since been pardoned by the Governor of Kentucky, is on the board at Volunteers of America, and is a recovery advocate for those trying to bounce back from prison, homelessness, and a life of crime.
Today, Rickey has a successful photography business where he takes action photos at youth sporting events. His entrepreneurial endeavors support his true passion as a hip hop artist. On August 6th, Rickey Dolla Green is dropping his first single from his most recent album, FACEOFF 2020. The single is called "Here We Go Again" featuring his daughter Kylee Love. I personally love the single and I’ve linked some of my favorites of his from an earlier album, Tattoos and Rap Music. Enjoy Rickey’s amazing story on the podcast and make sure you check him out on Instagram, YouTube, Spotify and anywhere you like to listen to music!
