It is primarily recognized for its laid-back and tranquil beats, evoking a sense of relaxation and nostalgia. Central to its distinctive ambiance is the deliberate incorporation of vinyl crackle and vintage samples, contributing to its wistful and retro sound. Additionally, the inclusion of live instruments, notably saxophones and pianos, further accentuates the jazzy essence within the genre. Lo-fi jazzhop is characterized by its seamless blend of jazz's melodic and harmonic qualities with the rhythmic elements inherent in hip-hop, resulting in a subgenre that captivates listeners with its soothing and atmospheric character.
