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?

They are those Haitian Kompa and Beat songs that are stuck in your head by playing themselves there over. And over. And over.
Someone infected with Kompa-itus may find themselves humming and whistling to the song and can end up dancing to tune that's playing inside their heads.
It usually happens after a heavy night of dancing partying or after hearing a Haitian DJ plays them over the air on Haitian Community radio, even streaming them on Youtube, Spotify and Souncloud can do it to you.
The term "Kompa-Itus" was originally coined by RENÉ Guemps in 2019.
Yo Theodore!
"I think I got a bad case of Kompa-itus, do you know how to get them out?"

repeated rhythmic phrase, tone/timbre, Melodic hook (often with strong use of tremolo (volume oscillation) but not so much vibrato (pitch oscillation).
Identifying factors include generally short to medium-length songs written in a variants format.
The lyrics in White Kompa songs don’t usually have any deep meaning,often the lyrics are frivolous and encourage dancing.
The origins of the genre and term was pioneered by Negre Marron Records' CEO and label Director René Guemps who always thought - if language was the barrier that stop Haitian Artist from crossing over or become mainstream to other mwrket - why not bring artist of non-Haitian Origin and have them crossover to Kompa music.
FYI: This is the first time in the history of the Haitian Music Industry (HMI) that a record label will be selling the beauty of an international artist from another race as a concept in a market that's not his or hers."
Myrtha was the one who suggested that we call the sub genre WHITE KOMPA instead of KomPOP, because most of the artists who sing that style of music are either from the United States, Canada or Europe.
