Music Genres
I don't beleive you should put music in a box, with that being said Rafa Selase Music includes but is not limited to the below mentioned genres.

Jazz Rap

Jazz Hip Hop
Jazz Hip Hop provides the distinction between language and culture. "Rap" is the language of hip hop; for example lyricists like KRS-One, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole rap to communicate. And Hip Hop is a culture! So Jazz Hip Hop is the combining of the jazz and hip hop cultures.
