Dr. A.D. Carson is an award-winning performance artist and educator from Decatur, Illinois. His work focuses on race, literature, history, rhetorics & performance. He received a Ph.D. in Rhetorics, Communication, and Information Design at Clemson University. His album, “I used to love to dream,” released with the University of Michigan Press is the first rap album peer-reviewed for publication with an academic press. This work extends from his doctoral dissertation, “Owning My Masters: The Rhetorics of Rhymes & Revolutions,” which he submitted in rap album form as the primary feature of a digital archive. A.D. and Dr. Evans discuss his latest musical offering, the state of Black rhetorical studies, Hip-Hop's 50th anniversary, and the current state of Hip-Hop culture.
