He's from Mullins. The Gullah/Geechee influence there is strong.

I mean I understood him completely but there is apparently some commonality between Geechee/Gullah and some of the deep mountain accents I have been exposed to. He uses slang but his accent has a lot in common with mountain dialect which doesn’t surprise me given the roots of Gullah and the fact that my region was a maroon zone.
