It's a Spanish word chambón. Pronounced Chumbone.
My Puerto Rican friend that the clot shot killed. Was half black, used the word to describe poor black people. Not from the hood, not thugs, but black people from the country. Like share croppers or migrant agriculture workers. Oddly he used the word to say a black musician is of the same caliber as Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix and other great black musicians born in poverty in the South. In his mind they were natural great musicians from Gospel, to Soul to Rock to Blues. He would say. "Hey 'B' he plays like the Chumbones" or "This guy is a real Chumbone".
But as with many Spanish words, they mean different things to different cultures. But the Spanish dictionary says it means the same as the Chicago slang.
