Jazz/Hip-hop I guess. 

Someone likes the cymbal. :)

yup he is a hip hop guy. But counting just the piano section, will it be considered jazz?

It's jazz piano stuck into a hip-hop repeating pattern thing, isn't it?  Done with a computer?  If it is, I found that interesting from the technical side.  Although I think there are lot of high school students with Garage Band doing similar things.
