The descendants of this wave of immigration from the West Indies would include hip-hop luminaries like Busta Rhymes, who has made songs in patois, Phife Dawg, whose rhymes are littered with nods to his Caribbean roots, and Biggie Smalls—all of whom would occasionally put on their parents' accents into their songs.

Its period trappings can feel a bit strange when the characters speak in a kind of forced 1800s patois, but that's overcome by the costume and set design, all of which feel exactly like what you might create if you were using modern technology to create a faux paradise of the past.

"Work" is a song about sex and its role in a fraught relationship, and those mumbles combine patois, the rhythms, and repetition of sex, and the frisson of being too fucked up to care—and the atmosphere that all that conjures says more than any verbose description of a sex act ever could.

Listen, I didn't think I would be taking my cues about calming down during the end of the world from Chet Hanks, a white-guy rapper who most recently made headlines for inexplicably speaking (pretty good?) patois while on the red carpet for his dad's lifetime achievement Golden Globe award in January.

Echoing the way early hip-hop was born in the 70s from crews in the South Bronx battle-rapping to Jamaican-born jock Kool Herc, in Santiago, the first MCs banded together to compete for bragging rights, often rapping in a made-up language when a song contained Jamaican patois they couldn't quite parse.

Rapped and sung, sprinkled with patois, made in collaboration with the Nigerian Afrobeats star Wizkid and sampling Kyla's "Do You Mind" (a smash on Britain's funky dance music scene in the late 2000s), "One Dance" is a transnational dance-floor lullaby, one of Drake's breeziest and most accessible songs, and also one of his savviest.

But traditional maps don't show the locations familiar to the city's millions of denizens: the corner in Queens where you can overhear Zulu and Jamaican patois, the trucks selling jerk chicken and dirty rice outside Hasidic synagogues in Brooklyn, the Staten Island Ferry that RZA and Ghostface Killah rode to go to grindhouse theaters in Times Square.

In songs like "Distance," Killy reflects on dissonance he's experienced during the rise, saying, "I don't think you really know the feelin'/ see me as the hero or the villain" | LISTEN Before the heavy influx of Patois-inspired Toronto slang in the city's music, Nue is an artist that frequented this lyrical styling in the past.

In the perfectly conceived and executed opening chapter, Eve Fletcher, a divorced mother and the harried director of a senior center, drops off her hungover son, Brendan, at a state university in the Northeast, but not before eavesdropping with disgust as Brendan, speaking in the demeaning patois of porn, receives a sexual parting gift from his ex-girlfriend.

Tangier's community has been there for hundreds of years, Schulte notes — the island was mainly settled by several families from Cornwall and Devon, England, in the 353s and 1800s, and their heritage is still discernible in the residents' unusual accent, a Colonial-era Cornwall patois wrapped inside a Virginia twang that has long drawn the attention of linguists and anthropologists.

But Steff's power was tangible; and watching her twerk at a group of screaming girls, effortlessly flitting between a London accent and patois, and propping one leg up on the speaker as she rapped "black rings, black range, she a killa" from "Real Ting" felt as if you'd just stumbled across Nicki Minaj or Lil Kim at the precipice of their success.

As a southern African person in London, I've lost count of the times Brits of all backgrounds have taken a look at me and spoken to me in shoddy Caribbean patois, or assumed I know about variations of jollof (not a thing where I'm from) or assumed my parents fit some sort of "strict and traditional black immigrant family" template.
