Nothing heals the soul like music. That’s the essence of Fury Young’s project Die Jim Crow. The musical multimedia project advocates for prison reform, focusing on the African-American experience in the era of mass incarceration. The years-long project features recorded collaborations with musicians who are former inmates or currently incarcerated. Six songs in the form of an eponymous EP album were released in 2016. Last month, an artbook companion was published, spotlighting five musicians whose lives have been affected by mass incarceration.
