Suno prompt

A brooding boom-bap hip hop track blending lo-fi hip hop with explosive energy and a swung feel at 97 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under a programmed drum machine with a tight and dry snare and washy crash-led cymbals. Grand piano carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A warm male vocal delivers a rhythmic and percussive performance. Field-recording ambience adds texture, with a slapback delay on the vocal. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding harmonic warmth and atmospheric space, built on simple triad chords, leaving a calm and settled atmosphere.

Paste this into Suno's style field. It describes the sound only — adjust anything that does not match what you are after.
