St. Louis-based
Jibbs began writing raps at an early age in an effort to impress his older brother,
DJ Beatz (who was gaining a reputation locally producing tracks for
Nelly and
Chingy). The results so impressed his brother that he invited
Jibbs into the studio to record tracks that would become popular on the local circuit. The tracks started to spread outside St. Louis and found themselves in the hands of industry executives, which resulted in
Jibbs opening for several superstars when they performed locally. He later signed to Geffen Records, where his debut single, "Chain Hang Low," was the most popular rap download in August 2006. His debut album,
Jibbs Featuring Jibbs, followed in October. ~ Rob Theakston
