Suno prompt

A brooding boom-bap hip hop track blending jazz with explosive energy and a broken-beat feel at 95 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a tight and dry snare and sparse dark cymbals. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows verse-chorus. A warm male vocal delivers a smooth and melismatic performance. Analog hiss 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.
