Suno prompt

A wistful lo-fi hip hop track blending ambient with high energy and a swung feel at 136 BPM. The low end is sub bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a brushed snare and sparse dark cymbals. Grand piano carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A grand piano leads, building through repetition. Analog hiss adds texture, with a dub-style tape delay 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.
