INTRO : It's widely debated on whether or not he's still capable of that raspy vamp voice, many fans claim he can still deliver by comparing it to his newer "Baby voice" introdouced in 2017, later reprodouced in early (2024–2025) After spending years integrating a deep, aggressive voice into his aesthetic and style, he began switching it up blending elements of his older high pitched delivery back into newer tracks and features like "Timeless", but for the sake of comparison both baby voices will be described.

(2017 CASH CARTI BABY VOICE) : his most natural sound, due to being younger then, he had less trapper years being so young so his voice wasnt neccesarily tainted by it, he delievered more soft-spoken and melodic voices utilizing this tone.

(2024 BABY VOICE) : The high pitch was a hyper-exaggerated. Instead of keeping it a singular tone/voice he created 3, 2 of them being variants.

(Variant #1), "incredibly polished and melodic" It is also widely referred to by fans on TikTok and many Redditers as the "AI Voice" or "Lawson Voice" ( Carti's co- writer, ex : Timeless & Rather Lie confirmed to contain obvious usage of ai )

(Variant #2) Breathless Voice" Heard during specific transitions maybe adlibs/ vocal overlays , Carti drops his volume but spikes the pitch, a really airy, gasping, and vulnerable kinda zesty voice, like when he says "seeyuh" but more like "seeyuhhhh" that out of breathe kind of sound.

FYI - The deep voice utilized on timeless would be mentioned in the variamts but thats its own seperate voice and tone so its outside of discussion

How is it identified? Simple, by hearing harsh, distorted "S" sounds and background noise caused by poor engineering and/ or software for such.

(2025/2026 BABY VOICE) : 2 examples, Withdrawls and XTC, aka Eden bby & Pink diamonds. In this case Withdrawls would be the best representation and latest example of the evolution of Carti's baby voice, after all those stoner years and time utilizing deeper raspier voices, now as we know Carti is 29 years, 30 next month, hes lost his youth alongside youthful natural cash carti baby voice, and the only way to bring it back is by force.

Will we ever get that old cash carti sound back? : most likely not, due to years of scream-raging at his shows, drastic changes in aesthetic, loss of that youthful relaxed sound which now has to be forced, as much as he could try it wont ever sound like before, you cant force a relaxed voice, hes got too much strain on his vocal chords for that after all these years, keep in mind cash carti will be a decade ago in just a few more years, some things you really just cant bring back!
