Speculation also ran rampant regarding the track's instrumental backbone. Internet sleuths on production forums initially hypothesized that the brass fanfare in "Bazooka" sampled a vintage 1970s film score or a European military march.
Miami XO clarified the production process during an interview with underground tastemaker channel The Florida Grindhouse. The beat, produced by bedroom beatmaker K-Roc, utilized zero vintage vinyl samples. K-Roc constructed the main horn motif using a heavily detuned virtual synthesizer layered over a chopped vocal synth preset.
The low end was reinforced with an aggressive 808 glide pattern tuned to hit resonance peaks around 42 Hz. This deliberate low-end distortion rattled budget smartphone speakers in a way that exaggerated the track's theatrical, almost cartoonish violence, rendering it prime material for visual parodies.
