Genre Mashup- The expectation with musical collaborations is that while you're getting a mixture of the two styles, they frequently lean more toward one than the other. "Breakn' a Sweat" by Skrillex and The Doors is decidedly in Hard EDM territory, but it's also heavily colored by the style of the Doors in a way that isn't just shown by the Studio Chatter Skrillex sampled into the final mix.

If you've got an especially off-the-wall collaboration, you can hit Weird Crossover territory, and the resulting fusion can be a genre oddball for everyone involved. David Bowie and Bing Crosby's "The Little Drummer Boy (Peace On Earth)" collaboration is a solid example listed already, and the combo of crooner and New Wave ends up sounding a bit like jazz-rock in the vein of Chicago (Band).

A Wild Rapper Appears! is when the collaboration takes the form of one of the artists "hijacking" the song into a different genre for a stretch, the trope naming example being rappers dropping into pop songs for a while.
