Not since Nelly, has St. Louis had an
artist 2 makethe kind of first impression as Chingy. Chingy, who’s
signed 2 Ludacris’ DTP Records, has come out the gate with
a vengence. Being DTP’s first solo release, and having moved
more than 200,000 units in it’s first week, “Jackpot,”
the much awaited, and much anticipated debut by Chingy, has been
far from disappointing for the artist and the label.
The album has produced 2 chart topping
singles thus far. Both singles, “Right Thurr,” and
“Holidae In” (featuring Ludacris and Snoop Dogg),
have been radio hits, as well as, club hits.
Chingy’s down home Southern drawl,
and his laid back rhyme spittin’ have helped contribute
2 his instant success. It doesn’t hurt that the ladies and
young girls are diggin on him, he has some hot ass production,
and Luda guiding him along, either.
We caught up with Chingy at the Capitol
City Takeover in Canton, MS (after the Jackson State / Alcorn
State football game in Jackson, MS).

show and you’re tryin’ 2 get outta here. We appreciate
your takin’ the time 2 holla at us. Is there anything you’d
like 2 say 2 your fans ?
