Suno prompt

A serene ambient track blending lo-fi hip hop with high energy and a half-time feel at 91 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under a programmed drum machine with a brushed snare and sparse dark cymbals. Warm analog pads carry the harmony, sustained and washy. The arrangement follows loop-based with dynamic drops. A lead synth leads, building through repetition. Analog hiss adds texture, with a short room reverb on the lead. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding harmonic warmth and atmospheric space, built on suspended 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.
