Music, Recovery & Rebuilding Life After Addiction

In this episode of the GITT Up Podcast, I sit down with Steven Kidwell — hip-hop artist, entrepreneur, and founder of A New Way to Live. From street life and addiction to prison, detox, and redemption, Steven’s journey is one of the powerful comeback stories coming out of the Appalachian recovery community.

We talk about how poetry became an escape during a painful childhood, how it turned into hip-hop, and how addiction pulled him away from his passion and into a life that cost him everything.
