Audiences and the recording industry are shocked over the fact that young teenagers are swiftly skyrocketing into fame. At the present time, this writer will name two and they are classical pianist Jeremy Ajani Jordan, who makes his debut with the Chicago Sinfonietta and also has been booked to perform in Europe. The other individual is Jibbs, a fifteen-year-old rapper from St. Louis whose single, Chain Hang Low, turned gold and won him a opportunity to rap in the young entertainers who are currently starring in The Scream Tour at slated to perform in the Allstate Arena Thursday, Dec. 28 at 7 p.m.
Rapper Jibb's single, Chain Hang Low, from his debut album, Jibbs feat. Jibbs is only the second entertainer to ever go platinum with ringtones sales before his debut CD is released. The star was Rick Ross.
The Scream Tour that kicked-off around Thanksgiving in Miami, F1. and is destined to climax December 31 in Washington, D.C. features in addition to Jibbs, Yung Joe, Omarion, Ne-Yo, Pretty Ricky, Sammie and One Chance. Jibbs was a featured star in the AOL Breakers program during October, November and December and was also included in MTVs prestigious Discover & Download program.
A video featuring his second single King Kong, from his debut album produced in October is also a whopping success. Because of the dynamic ringtones sales of his first single from the album Jibbs feat. Jibbs that was a smashing success.
Jibbs quick advance of his single Chain Hang Low is no miracle, however, it is the result of his own ingenuity and the assistance of his older brothers and family. His mother and father are involved in music and one of his older brothers, Da Beatstaz DJ Beats, is quite active in the media and recording industry.
Jibbs was influenced by his brother DJ Beats when he was 8years-old and captured his style. He had the inspiration to create several rap lyrics himself and showed them to his brother, DJ Beats, who was astonished over what Jibbs had accomplished at such a young age. Proud of his little brother's talent and accomplishment, DJ Beats began introducing him to rappers such as Nelly and Chingy along with others.
Jibbs realized that he was gifted, however, he was humble. He said in his evaluation of his accomplishments, "I was murdering 21-year-olds, 25-year-olds when I was 11 and 12," he recalls in his biography. Jibbs eventually was signed to Geffen Records where Snoop Dogg, Pharrell and Mary J. Blige will be his stablemates.
About his variety in his style, Jibbs makes this comment, "Every song on the album doesn't sound the same. That's where the title 'Jibbs Feat. Jibbs' came from. No song sounds the same, but you'll always know it's me.
