Suno prompt

A brooding lo-fi hip hop track with high energy and a swung feel at 85 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under a programmed drum machine with a brushed snare and sparse dark cymbals. Grand piano carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows verse-chorus with a bridge. A grand piano 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.
