Musician and Activist Fury Young

This week's episode of The Lo-Down Culture Cast features a conversation with musician and activist Fury Young. Fury grew up in the neighborhood, and recently released Tree Indeed, his first solo EP as a musician. His music is "artland rock meets surrealist rap, a melodic record about growing up in the LES and life."

 

His late father, the artist and social worker Lee Brozgol, helped turn a once derelict building on Eldridge Street into a fully functioning co-op back in the 1980's.

 

Fury is also the Founder of FREER Records, the first known non-profit record label for prison-impacted musicians in the US.
