"Chain Hang Low" is the debut single by Jibbs from his debut album Jibbs feat. Jibbs. The song went on to rack up more than 20,000 ringtone downloads in a span of 2 weeks. The video shows adolescents doing the snap dance. "Chain Hang Low" reached number 7 on Billboard Hot 100.
The Source magazine and XXL blogger Byron Crawford have classified this song in a genre of music called "minstrel show rap", because the chorus' melody is taken from the minstrel show song "Zip Coon." Jibbs claims he didn't know the origins of the song and used the melody as a reference to the children's song "Do Your Ears Hang Low?"
