Suno Trap Prompt: Style and Exclude Lines

Trap example: an 808 drum machine glowing in a dark studio, booming subwoofer, purple smoke — Mood still for this style, made with the Lookbook's image prompts. The page has no audio. Scene: an 808 drum machine glowing in a dark studio, booming subwoofer, purple smoke.

What it is

Atlanta rap beat from the 2000s on: long booming 808 bass, rapid hi-hat rolls and a snare-clap on beat three in half-time, under a dark bell or synth melody.

Suno prompt

Two boxes, ready to paste. The Style line goes in Suno's Styles field, the Exclude line in Exclude styles.

Style

Atlanta-style trap beat, 140 bpm half-time, booming long 808 bass, rapid hi-hat rolls and triplets, crisp snare clap on beat three, dark bell melody and minor synth, confident male rap vocal with ad-libs

Exclude

live band, acoustic guitar, jazz chords, boom bap, lo-fi, EDM drop, rock, orchestral, country

The parts

The lead is the one instrument that carries the tune. Colour instruments add texture and never take the melody. The bed is the rhythm section underneath.

Tempo: 140 bpm
Meter: 4/4
Swing: straight
Key: C minor
Lead (carries the tune): confident male rap vocal
Colour (never the melody): dark bell melody, ad-libs
Bed: 808 bass, hi-hat rolls, snare clap

Not this

Not UK drill: the 808 holds instead of sliding and the snare lands on three. Not phonk: no cowbell or Memphis vocal chops.

Other names

Atlanta trap, 808 trap

Pairs with

low-angle slow push on a parked car at night
