“TO TAKE HIP-HOP TO THE NEXT LEVEL ... EVERYONE SHOULD FEEL CREATIVE – [in] what they call their own creation.”

Jibbs – during an exclusive interview with Datzhott.com

St. Louis hip-hop star JIBBS is back in August 2009 with his second CD and this time he is bringing New Tempo, New Swag. As the title says, Jibbs is doing it bigger, broader, and bolder than on his 2006’s debut Jibbs Featuring Jibbs. From the hot lead-off single “Dedication (Ay DJ)” – in which Jibbs salutes his peers with a catchy remember-when jam featuring former Scream Tour mate Lloyd – to the sexy club-ready pulse of “On The Floor,” Jibbs lets his broad creativity and new maturity shine on a tight ten-track collection.

In this HOTT AND RAW EXCLUSIVE!, Jibbs talks about his new album and how much he’s actually matured as an artist. The young rapper implies that he is more focused than ever on creating his own lane and knocking down boundaries. He’s indeed concentrating taking his realm of hip-hop to the next level.

WHATs HOTT!?! ABOUT JIBBS!

Born Jovan Campbell, JIBBS got his rap moniker as a child because of his gift for “jibber jabber.” With his mother a former rapper, his father a musician, and his older brothers also making their way in the rap game, Jibbs was steeped in music. Inspired by heavyweights like the Notorious BIG, Jay Z, Eminem, Lil Wayne, and hometown star Nelly, Jibbs began rapping at age 8. His brother DJ Beatz, who built production credits on projects by Chingy and Nelly, took Jibbs’ childhood desire to make music seriously.

With the Beatstaz behind his 2006 debut, Jibbs Featuring Jibbs, the 15-year-old hit hard with the Number 7 pop single “Chain Hang Low,” which sold over 1.5 million downloads and 1 million ringtones. The young hip-hop star also made a splash with “Go Too Far” featuring Melody Thornton of the Pussycat Dolls, and “King Kong.”

After Jibbs peaked at Number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2007, Jibbs decided to give fans a holdover between albums with the mixtape Round One, issued in 2008.
