Howard Bailey, Jr. (born March 9, 1980), better known by his stage name Chingy, is an American hip-hop music artist. Chingy is known for heightening his height and voice in all of his songs, however, in interviews and appearances, he uses a regular unstressed voice. His hits date back to 2003 and include: "Right Thurr," "Holidae In," "One Call Away" featuring J-Weav, "Balla Baby" and more recently, "Pullin' Me Back" featuring Tyrese, and "Dem Jeans" featuring Jermaine Dupri." He has also taken part in the "Get Low (Remix)" music video. Chingy goes by the logo "G.I.B.", which stands for Get it Boyz. He was on the road from August 06-January 07 and is now in his hometown St. Louis helping his younger cousin Young Spiffy create his debut album, Troublemaka. Spiffy will be the first off his label Slot-A-Lot.
Chingy has recently ceased his dispute with Disturbing tha Peace and has officially signed back to them.[1]
He has a son named Michael.

Ching was born in St. Louis, Missouri. St. Louis-based Fo-Reel Entertainment, home to artists such as Nelly, claims to have discovered the talented Chingy, and he was often seen during his early days with their entourage. However, as time passed, Chingy began to distance himself from them, during which time a feud emerged between Nelly and Chingy. Shortly after, Chingy emerged once again as a member of Ludacris' southern hip hop record label DTP. His relationship with DTP was hugely successful and lead to a profitable debut consisting of the lead singles "Right Thurr", "Holidae In", and "One Call Away". But later in 2004, Chingy had a monetary dispute with DTP, causing him to leave the label. He released Powerballin' in the same year, releasing the singles "Balla Baby" and "Don't Worry". His debut single barely broke into the Billboard top 20. In 2006, Chingy ended his beef with Nelly and appeared in Ali & Gipp's new video "Go Head". He stated in Rap City that he has no beef with Ludacris. He released his third album, Hoodstar in 2006 under his own label, Slot-A-Lot Records and Capitol. The album had two popular singles; "Pullin' Me Back" and "Dem Jeans". In April 2007 Chingy signed back with DTP & left Capitol Records for Island Def Jam, and now is working on his 4th album, Hate It or Love It.
