Howard Earl Bailey Jr., better known by his stage name Chingy, is an American rapper. Based in St. Louis, he toured as an opening act with fellow St. Louis rapper Nelly in 2002, and signed with fellow Southern rapper Ludacris' record label, Disturbing tha Peace (DTP), that same year. Released in a joint-venture with Capitol Records, his 2003 debut single, "Right Thurr", peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. It preceded his debut studio album Jackpot (2003), which, despite mixed critical reception, peaked at number two on the Billboard 200. His second album, Powerballin' (2004), peaked at number ten on the chart, while his third album, Hoodstar (2006), peaked at number nine and spawned the Billboard Hot 100-top ten single, "Pullin' Me Back". His fourth album, Hate It or Love It (2007), witnessed a commercial decline and was preceded by the single "Fly Like Me". His fifth album, Success & Failure (2010), failed to chart.
