Poverty aka Thommy Kane & Enbius: Rise From Ruin

Preserved as written at the time. References to upcoming shows, live broadcasts, links and website controls may no longer apply.

This week we were happy to finally bring the Rise From Ruin crew on the program! We’ve waited a long time to get Poverty in the building and most regular listeners recognize we keep Poverty/Thommy Kane tracks in the mix regularly here on the live show. Stories about huge pieces of Maine Hip Hop, legendary really, were finally discussed straight with the source this week. In all reality we barley scratched the surface when it comes to Poverty but we definitely got a good start. The focus really tonight is on Rise From Ruin, both Enbius & Thommy, and their struggle, friendship, and come up together. Enbius brings us his perspective as a writer so the graffiti element is also present on tonight’s show. We get a lot of good Maine Hip Hop in during the first hour and some exclusive tracks from Thommy Kane during the interview as well. This is another mandatory listen podcast for sure! We also want to congratulate everyone but especially Trails & Spose on their awards from the Portland Phoenix Best Music Poll! Maine Hip Hop is at the forefront of local music right now, right where it it belongs!
