I can't figure out where to put this question!

What vocal effect is being used here? It's on SO many of the NBHD's songs! It's present on all of his vocals in this song I think, but the effect is most prominent from 00:34 to 00:52 It has baffled me but then again I'm pretty new to music production and vocal editing. The song is "The Neighbourhood - #icanteven ft. French Montana"

Any help is appreciated, thanks everyone
 
It's sort of a telephone/AM radio effect. Use a combination of bandpass filtering and distortion. I usually apply the bandpass filter (say, 300Hz-4kHz), then distortion, then a low pass filter to take the highs out of the distortion. To match your sample I might make the first filter a low pass at 4k, leaving the LF unaffected.

A guitar amp sim might do the trick as well.

There also seems to be a short delay. There may be a second copy of the vocal track with different effects, mixed under the first track.
