Chipmunk soul is a style of hip hop music that features sped-up vocal samples, originating in the 2000s. Early users of the style included Just Blaze, RZA, and Kanye West.[1][2]
The name "chipmunk" is a reference to Alvin and the Chipmunks, a 1960s musical act featuring sped-up vocal recordings.[3]
