Yo, check it. We talkin’ 'bout Orchest-Rap, ya dig? This ain’t just any beat on the block; it’s that high-class fusion where the streets meet the suites. Coined by the visionary Rene Guemps, the head honcho at Negre Marron Records (NMRS), this sound is straight outta 2019 NYC, where the indie scene ain’t just a vibe, it’s a revolution.
Here’s the rundown: Orchest-Rap is where you get that live wire energy, backed by a full-on orchestra. Imagine spittin’ bars with the weight of brass, woodwinds, and them strings elevatin’ your flow. We talkin’ trumpets blarin’, trombones slidin’, and percussion layin’ down the law. Don’t forget the piano keys dancin’ and strings singin’ from the violin to the double bass. And for that extra boom, we got the timpani, snare, bass drum, and all them cymbals makin’ heads nod.
But yo, it ain’t just classical, nah. We mixin’ in that electric guitar, bass thumpin’, synths wavin’, and keys playin’. The turntables scratchin’, Roland TR-808s droppin’ beats, and rappers layin’ down the truth. Plus, we got vocals that sample everything from pop hits to those timeless classics. Some Orchest-Rap tracks even roll deep with a choir, 'cause why not?

So when you hear someone ask, “Yo, who thought Orchest-Rap would blow up like this?” You tell 'em, “Rene Guemps, the mastermind behind NMRS, that’s who.” And now, it’s not just a genre; it’s a movement. Orchest-Rap, baby. We keep it classy, but we never forget where we came from.

the level of hearing used to identify rhythm, flow, and all things dope. This function is mostly utilized during the creation of hip hop music
Hey Petry, I wont be around so while you're mixing my music just use your rap ear when picking different effects for the vocals.
