Sounds like maybe a Jamaican accent.

I hear a lot of accents here in the south and have managed to follow most of them, except for fast Cajun, which I have not been exposed to

I admit I did pick out a word now and then, and I might have guessed it was closely related to English, but to tell the truth I was completely baffled by it.

It does sort of remind me of this, though: https://globalrecordings.net/en/language/3458 Jamaican Creole.

You're correct. Same rhythm. Makes the guy in the above video clear as a bell by comparison.
