Biography

Jibbs was born in St. Louis, Missouri. He began rapping at a young age in order to impress his older brother DJ Beatz who, at this time, gained notoriety thanks to his collaboration with high-profile St. Louis rappers such as Nelly and Chingy.[1]

Jibbs subsequently signed with Geffen Records[1] and released his debut album Jibbs feat. Jibbs on October 24, 2006. His debut single from the album, "Chain Hang Low", became the most downloaded rap song in August 2006.[1]

In 2007, after filming the music video for "Smile",[2] he took part in the Price of Fame tour with Bow Wow and Lloyd.[3]

In June 2012, Jibbs released a free album titled Back 2 The American Dream.[4]
