Influenced by LL Cool J, Run DMC, DJ Quik, Snoop Dogg, Nelly, Ludacris and others, Chingy quickly built a solid reputation in St. Louis and earned himself a slot opening for Nelly in 2002. Now, Chingy is ready to put his experience to work.

Chingy is true to his roots. With a Southern dialect, Chingy puts a St. Louis sound into his music. It's this unique timbre to his rap, heard as well in fellow Missouri rapper Nelly, that confirmed St. Louis as a hip-hop hotbed with its own flavor.
