Chingy



         


Chingy (born March 9, 1980 ) is a rapper from St. Louis, Missouri. Chingy arguably came into the spotlight after his song Right Thurr, from his album, Jackpot, hit the airwaves. However, Chingy is not a one-hit wonder; subsequent to the success of Right Thurr, Holidae Inn (also on his Jackpot album) climbed the charts, followed by One Call Away.
