How Kid Cudi uses that range
Low hums are the foundation: a woolly baritone that drones sustained chest tones down toward A1, then vaults into an open, yowling belt around D5 for hooks. The middle voice is talky and loose, with pitch treated as gesture. His signature is the hum-to-wail contrast inside one song. Students copying him press the low notes; subterranean pitches need slack folds and big resonating space, not force, and the high wails require an open throat with nothing held back in the jaw.

Reading the numbers
- A1 is a deep floor for a baritone — lower than all but 3 of the 122 baritones here.
- Only 10 singers here are cited below A1.
- Full voice is cited to within 3 semitones of the top note, so this reads as a chest-dominant voice rather than one that flips into a lighter register.
- That floor is a full 12 semitones beneath where a baritone's range conventionally starts (A2).
- The span runs 11.5 semitones past the median voice in this library (32.5 semitones).
Commonly cited figures, not lab measurements — extreme notes are one-off recorded moments, not the singer’s everyday range.
