What 808 tags work best in Suno for trap?

Use specific descriptors: heavy 808, booming 808, deep sub-bass, distorted 808, sliding 808. Avoid just saying bass — Suno needs trap-specific bass language. Adding bass-heavy and sub-bass emphasis helps Suno understand you want that characteristic trap low-end.

Yes. Combine trap elements with lo-fi production tags: lo-fi trap, muffled 808s, vinyl warmth, laid-back, smoky atmosphere. Lower the energy descriptors and add warmth. This creates a chilled-out version of trap that works great for study or late-night vibes.
