Suno prompt
A serene lo-fi hip hop track with explosive energy and a broken-beat feel at 77 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 intro-verse-chorus-outro. 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.
