This dissertation explores the roles of space, place, and cultural identity in the musicmaking practices of hip hop artists in Houston, Texas. Since the early 1990s, hip hop artists in Houston have cultivated a unique and indigenous hip hop tradition identified by three folk artifacts and one core practice: a slow and psychedelic hip hop production style and deejay technique called screw music; an automotive modification culture known as slab; a prescription strength cough syrupbased illicit drug concoction named syrup by locals; and the fervent sociolinguistic celebration of streets, neighborhoods, and the city of Houston referred to as "reppin' your hood." This tradition has continued to persist across multiple generations and has become part of the cultural identity of hip hop artists and fans within the city. The cultivation of this cultural identity is fueled by an ardent territoriality among the workingclass, African American men whom comprise the majority of practitioners within the scene. Taking this into consideration, local hip hop artists must embrace local identity in order to achieve critical and commercial success.

520 $a This dissertation explores the roles of space, place, and cultural identity in the musicmaking practices of hip hop artists in Houston, Texas. Since the early 1990s, hip hop artists in Houston have cultivated a unique and indigenous hip hop tradition identified by three folk artifacts and one core practice: a slow and psychedelic hip hop production style and deejay technique called screw music; an automotive modification culture known as slab; a prescription strength cough syrupbased illicit drug concoction named syrup by locals; and the fervent sociolinguistic celebration of streets, neighborhoods, and the city of Houston referred to as "reppin' your hood." This tradition has continued to persist across multiple generations and has become part of the cultural identity of hip hop artists and fans within the city.

Taking this into consideration, local hip hop artists must embrace local identity in order to achieve critical and commercial success.
520 $a In this ethnographic study, I discuss how local artists negotiate individual agency and cultural expectations in their musicmaking practices. I explore this negotiation through case studies of three distinct artistic segments of the Houston hip hop scene: street, underground, and Christian. Members of each scene have particular artistic and philosophical motivations that impact the extent to which they embrace local hip hop identity. Through this study, I seek to illuminate the cultural dynamics of local hip hop scenes within the context of an increasing globalization of the musical genre. In addition, I use hip hop music in Houston to examine larger themes of territoriality, socialization, and identity among the postCivil Rights, African American working class.
