KOMPA DRILL

KOMPA DRILL often mistakenly referenced as CREOLE-Trap, is a combination of Haitian Kompa, and Sample Drill music.

Characteristic features of KOMPA DRILL production include rap-talk-singing, Flow, “kata” (rim shot) (tresillo, live drums, (typically 80 to 120 beats per minute, or BPM), catchy short riff, Autotune, loops, 808 glides, ear-catching and singable melodies with manipulated Background vocal.

KOMPA DRILL uses replayed samples of older Kompa tracks by composing derivative version of the sample played live by an actual studio or session musician, thus giving it a nostalgic yet modern twist.

Key stylistic elements:

Call and Response, Chant-Rap, Vocalese, Ostinatos and rapped lyrics originated from the real-life experiences (often rap-sing in Haitian French-Creole, Crenglish, and CreoSpañol, FranSpañol which usually feature a guest artist or who 'd contribute a guest verse.

Other elements include a 12 bar bridge section played with a 5/4 timing over Rasin Mizik, (Haitian roots music with more pop-based melodies).

The lyrical content of Kompa drill music tends to be bawdy, cryptic, gritty pithy, provocative and full of voye pwen,” or “sending a point.”

A notable label of this kind of Kompa Drill Music is Negre Marron Records, an Int-y Independent internet record label which was founded in New York City ) 2018) by Rene Guemps.
I wonder if KOMPA DRILL producers will go after sample clearance from the right holders for all the Kompa instrumentals and vocal samples that they interpolate on their tracks Ante or post-Factum?
