Last time I checked, your Urban Fixie hiphop skid whip only has one gear, make sure the chain goes around the chainring and the cog - then you'll be fine. One of the more convincing arguments for riding fixed or SS is that now the cool kids dont have to mess with derailleurs, thereby letting em use more brains on art projects and bands.
It does sound as if you're using the wrong combo of chain and chainring, maybe like a 10 speed chain on a wider setup, with shitty indexing.
