Chingy jumped on the rap scene with his smash hit "Right Thurr," and the rapper told VladTV that it was the first song he recorded, and DTP hit him up after hearing the hook and one verse. He adds that the label had him mix and master the track, which they later pressed onto vinyl and shopped around to different major labels. A couple of months later Chingy was signed to Capitol Records.

When asked about knowing 2 Chainz from their days at DTP, Chingy says that he always knew that the Atlanta rapper would blow up after leaving Playaz Circle. The St. Louis rapper says he went through the same thing as 2 Chainz after leaving his group, and was positive that he would blow up as well.
