I'm deconstructing a track in order to create a track template in Ableton for the kids I teach at a youth centre. A base they can use to start when creating a song.

I'm struggling to label one of the elements of the track. This is probably a trivial question but I don't know this genre at all. I'm deconstructing a track at their request based on what they listen to regularly.

The track is below. The first 8 bars of the track is the melody (the orchestral hits), but on the second 8 bars of the intro another element comes in that sounds like a choir sample:

What is that element of the track called? Would it be classed as harmony? Or another melody? The element comes in at the 7 second mark just after the sample "swifta production". It lasts for 8 bars before the bass comes in, but repeats throughout the track.

Thanks for any help.
