J. Peter Burkholder, Phil Ford, and Daniel R. Melamed spent countless hours advising, counseling, challenging, and encouraging me throughout this project. These advisors not only supported me with the research but also with many dimensions of my professional life. I feel incredibly blessed to have had so many people care about my work and me so much. I also thank my outside reader, Kyle Adams, for his perceptive comments and bottomless knowledge of the repertoire. The remaining members of the Indiana University Musicology Department supported me in a variety of ways during my time as a graduate student, so I am indebted to Halina Goldberg, Michael Long, Kristina Muxfeldt, Massimo Ossi, and Ayana Smith. Thanks also go to Fernando Orejuela of the folklore department and to Portia Maultsby of the ethnomusicology department for their feedback on various stages of this project and other hip- hop endeavors. To my fellow hip-hop scholars Loren Kajikawa, Mark Katz, the late Adam Krims, Felicia Miyakawa, Joe Schloss, and Justin Williams: I am so grateful for your time, feedback, and support on this project, and I am honored that you have welcomed me into your community.
