Gotta be a rural southern accent outside of LA. MS, AL, GA, SC, TN, maybe TX and AR.

I much prefer the MS and similar flavor to the more Appalachian redneck ones. There’s a trashy edge to it in a lot of places in Upstate SC and WNC. The non trashy folks tend to not have it. I don’t know how to describe it. A little marble mouthed and abrasive despite the twang and drawl. Maybe it’s just white trash everywhere though.
