In line with Contemporary Rap, CrEnglish Rap highlights rhythmic flow, wordplay, and storytelling, incorporating melody, catchy hooks, and diverse rhythms for a captivating musical experience. Lyrics explore various themes, reflecting artists' experiences, perspectives, and cultural identity, benefitting from the bilingual nature of the genre.
Negre Marron Records, founded in NYC in 2018 by Rene Guemps, stands out as a pioneer in CrEnglish Rap. EMPRESS BEEJU, the label's first CrEnglish Rap artist, introduces a unique blend of Haitian Creole and English to the Rap world.

The genre serves as a platform for rich and dynamic expressions of thoughts and emotions, bridging linguistic and cultural gaps within the global Rap community.
