Introduction

Jibbs (birth name – Jovan Campbell) is an American rapper who is best known for his debut studio album Jibbs Featuring Jibbs which reached number #4 on the US Rap chart.

He rose to fame after the release of his debut single titled – “Chain Hang Low,” which reached number #7 on the US chart.

The Origin Story

Jibbs was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on November 13th, 1990.

He began writing and performing his own raps at an early age, reportedly as an attempt to impress his older brother DJ Beatz. Beatz, a noted producer, was involved with such local names as Nelly and Chingy.

Beatz, suitably impressed by his younger brother’s affinity for technical rap and stage presence, had Jibbs come into his studio and record several tracks.

These tracks would become popular on the local scene, and resulted in Jibbs being asked to open for several larger, more established acts in his teenage years.

Little is known of Jibbs’ educational history, but it can be presumed by the early success of his music career that he did not pursue college studies.

Professional Career

Jibbs signed with Geffen Records at the age of 16.

His debut album, Jibbs feat. Jibbs, was released in October 2006. The first single released from that album, Chain Hang Low, was the most downloaded rap song of August 2006.

Chain Hang Low went on to hit the then-prestigious “one-million ringtone” mark, putting Jibbs alongside such rap heavy-hitters as Chamillionaire and Akon.

The success of Chain Hang Low propelled Jibbs to higher heights of fame. The video for Chain Hang Low and a follow-up track, King Kong, were top-ten hits on several local music stations.

Campbell also appeared as a supporting act for rap titans Snoop Dogg and P. Diddy on their European “Scream” tour in 2007.

Jibbs’ meteoric rise to fame was accompanied by a commensurate interest in him as a performer and as a person. He appeared in Rolling Stone, XXL, Spin and Vibe magazines.

He was also featured in the Hot100 List of Summer in the June/July issue of CosmoGirl!  

In 2012, Campbell attended a charity event named “Salute with Hoops.” The event, at which Jibbs performed his biggest hits, was held to commemorate America’s fallen heroes across various conflicts of the 20th century and earlier.

Campbell also announced a new album, Back 2 The American Dream. The album was released for free, and thus no information was compiled regarding how many copies were “sold.”

Wife/Girlfriend

Jibbs has remained notably close-lipped on his personal life, with little known about whether or not he is currently married. However, the rapper has three children: two boys and a girl. Jibbs frequently posts pictures of him and his sons to his Instagram account. His daughter (name unknown) was born in the fall of 2022.
