Spose adds a new line to his resume: Children’s book author

It’s not a big leap for a rapper with four kids

Are you surprised to hear that Spose, Maine’s most famous and successful rapper, has written a book for children called ”Pinecone Pete is Not Impressed”? Here are three reasons why you shouldn’t be.

  1. Spose works hard and has the drive of an entrepreneur. Lounging in bed until noon is not his style, and in any case it’s not an option because he has a wife and four young children.
  1. He has a gift for wordplay. For anyone who’s heard his songs, this is not breaking news.
  1. His interest in books and reading and writing runs deep. Look closely at the tattoos on his arms and you’ll see an image you probably wouldn’t have expected—the face of John Steinbeck, the author of such classic novels as “Of Mice and Men” and “The Grapes of Wrath.”

So how did Pinecone Pete make his way from Spose’s imagination to the printed page? Watch our interview to find out.
