Many institutions have long offered courses in hip-hop, and some list full programs of study. Yet until the University of Michigan Press published A.D. Carson’s new “i used to love to dream,” no academic press had published a peer-reviewed hip-hop album. Carson, assistant professor of hip-hop and the global South at the University of Virginia, approached several academic presses with his project – the third in a series called “Sleepwalking” that began with his 34-track dissertation album at Clemson University.
