About this listen

 Meet youth workers who help justice-involved young people flip the script and rewrite their past through rap. Behind the doors of a nondescript building in south Manchester, Ali finds a transformative space full of plants, artwork and top spec recording equipment. It is here that the arts organisation TiPP help young people involved in the justice system to find their voice through music. But there’s a catch. As stereotypes of young people and gangs have reached fever pitch, certain kinds of music – like rap and drill – have been used to suggest gang-membership. He meets youth organisations Art Not Evidence and 84 Youth who are fighting back, and young people who are using lyrics to rewrite their pain. https://www.tipp.org.uk
