St. Louis hip-hop heart-throb Jibbs is best-known for his hit song “Chain Hang Low.” Now he’s back with a new anthem for a sizzling summer 2009.
Jibbs is getting ready to release his second CD – New Tempo, New Swag. The album will include the hot new hit “Dedication (Ay, DJ)” featuring Jibbs’ former Scream Tour mate and R&B singer Lloyd.
“It’s more mature, more grown up, it’s showing a different side of me now and how I’ve matured is subject-wise” the 18-year-old rapper says of his new disc, which will drop in August ‘09.

This banging high-school anthem required some imaginative thinking and role playing on Jibbs’ part, since the star never actually attended a real high school (he got signed at 14 years old and was home schooled after that).
“I went off what I saw in movies: the proms, the graduations, the homecomings, and what my peers tell me that I didn’t get to experience,” he explains.
Other Tracks
Get set for other hot tracks on Jibbs’ new record, including:
- J Walk: featuring Southern rapper Lil Boosie
- Where She Wanna Go (My Girl): inspired by Jibbs’ love of Prince
- On The Floor: Jibbs’ personal fave
- True Dat: featuring DJ Beatz
- Performer: featuring Rico Love
- The Story Of My Life: about the struggles of a lot of teens trying to overcome circumstance to make it
