Pullin' Me Back (2006)

St. Louis-born hip-hop talent Chingy (a.k.a. Balla and Ching-a-ling) rocketed to the top of the U.S. hip-hop and R&B charts on the strength of his infectious Pullin’ Me Back (2006) single. Featuring Tyrese and Jermaine Dupri, the bumping cut features a sampled Jaco Pastorius bass line and a killer video lensed by music-video director Erik White. Of course, the rapper gets plenty of lift from leggy Yaya DaCosta, who works her irresistible mojo for most of the track’s four-minute running time.
