Cabrent
Definition
Cabrent (noun): The daily or weekly lease fee paid by a taxi (cab) driver to the medallion owner or garage for the use of the vehicle and license to operate. In hip-hop slang, it symbolizes the relentless grind and slim margins of immigrant hustlers driving yellow cabs in cities like NYC, often leaving drivers broke after long shifts.
