From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hovi Baby was the street single released from rapper Jay-Z's 2002 album The Blueprint²: The Gift & the Curse. The song is produced by Just Blaze and contains a sample of the live version of "Diggin' on You" by TLC. Additional vocals are provided by Christy Love.
The song is mainly Jay-Z boasting of his success in rap. At one point he hints that only 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G. might be considered as good rappers as he is.
