Cody Brown is an alumni of Voices Behind Walls.  He brought a lot of creative ideas to VBW with his knowledge of music production, not only as a Hip Hop beat maker, but also someone who knows how to play instruments.  He's also a brilliant song writer and lyricist MC/poet.  In many ways, like key players before him, he changed the course of our workshop and opened up the technical possibilities for how we recorded and what we could do with the limited equipment and software we had available.  Through Cody we were able to dream big in what was our goal for the youth themselves to have input along with others on the development of a studio inside of the detention center.

Upon his release from incarceration Cody continued with his music including the instrumental project featured above that Cody produced and uploaded onto his Soundcloud.  It is a remix of the Melanie Fiona single 4 A.M. off of The MF Life released in 2012.

Along with our own recordings, the VBW Justice Archive will feature audio downloads from participants and affiliates of the program.  You can download the 4 A.M. Cody Brown Remix by clicking on the links above or by clicking on the following: MP3.

About the VBW Justice Archive

The Voices Behind Walls (VBW) Justice Archive is a collection of audios, artworks, photographs, and writings archived on the following:

VBW Research Network Blog: vbwresearch.blogspot.com
VBW YouTube: youtube.com/voicesbehindwalls
VBW Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/vbehindw
VBW Website: voicesbehindwalls.blogspot.com

The purpose of the archive is to document VBW program history, specifically the creative expression of its participants and program partners.  Files of the VBW Justice Archive are resources for educators, youth, and the public to share.  We hope these files inspire new ideas and other creative expressions in all learning spaces.  The archive is especially to acknowledge the existence of its participants, a majority incarcerated youth,  who recorded into the VBW microphone between the decade of 2004 to 2014.  Hopefully you all find your way back to our page to reflect on your contribution to the VBW program.

The VBW Justice Archive began documenting its program history in 2014.  Audios will be posted periodically.  Updated will be posted at the links above including twitter.com/vbehindw
