How Tyler, the Creator uses that range
Cavernous speaking-range baritone rap sits beside a surprisingly tender sung falsetto, two instruments in one artist. Low lines rumble toward B1 with deliberate monotone weight; sung hooks flip into a cracked, earnest falsetto and a strong mix that can push to A5 in shrieked peaks. Pitch is sometimes bent flat for character. Students copying him polish the falsetto too much; the charm is a controlled amateurishness, supported underneath, with the cracks landing on expressive words.

Reading the numbers
- B1 is a deep floor for a baritone — lower than all but 7 of the 122 baritones here.
- Full voice is cited to within 2 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 10 semitones beneath where a baritone's range conventionally starts (A2).
- The ceiling clears the conventional baritone top of A4 by 14 semitones.
- The span runs 15.5 semitones past the median voice in this library (32.5 semitones).
