Rap with restrained 86 BPM boom-bap drums, dusty vinyl crackle, muted piano stabs, and a steady bass line; verse rides sparse kicks and rimshots with tight internal rhymes, pre-chorus strips to voice and faint chords, chorus lands with stacked doubles and a short chantable hook. Add subtle reverse swell transitions, a lone bell hit into the hook, and a warm intimate mix with close-mic lead, low ad-lib panning, and brief delay throws on the key phrase., sad, rap
