Chipmunk soul is a sub-genre of hip hop music production which samples high-pitched gospel music choirs, string arrangements, and drum programming. The chipmunk soul "sound" can be accomplished by pitching up the vocals or reducing the semi-tones.

Kanye West is known to be the largest pioneer of the genre with his songs "Through the Wire" and "The Glory" from his album Graduation, songs "which made use of sped-up, pitch shifted vocal samples from soul and R&B records"

The Alchemist (musician) and Budgie collaborated to create The Good Book, Vol. 1 and The Good Book, Vol. 2 which feature instrumental samples of artists such as Andrae Crouch and Pastor T.L. Barnett.

Other notable artists include Sango and Mura Masa.
