LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Multi-platinum entertainer CHINGY is conquering 2023 with more new music, including today’s release of “Rewind Time,” via 369 Creative Mind and Ingrooves Music Group, as he celebrates the 20th anniversary of his Billboard Hot 100 debut “Right Thurr,” which ascended to the top of the charts on August 9, 2003. CHINGY’s non-stop touring continues this summer with dates across the U.S. and Canada, as well as performances for men and women service members in Guam, South Korea and Japan as part of an Armed Forces Entertainment tour through Judy Seale International and Stars for Stripes.
“‘Rewind Time’ is a record about me thinking about my close friends and family who have passed away, and struggles I endured in the street plus trials and tribulations I’ve conquered with inner city struggles. Just growing up and rough environments and trying to make it while witnessing tragedies.” CHINGY shared.
