Suno prompt

A restless boom-bap hip hop track with explosive energy and a broken-beat feel at 154 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a clap-layered snare and washy crash-led cymbals. Plucked synth carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows verse-chorus. A full-voiced female vocal delivers a rhythmic and percussive performance. Subtle bitcrush adds texture, with a slapback delay on the vocal. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding vocal clarity and low-end weight, built on chromatic and shifting chords, leaving a tense and coiled atmosphere.

Paste this into Suno's style field. It describes the sound only — adjust anything that does not match what you are after.
