Hovi Baby

"Hovi Baby" is a song by Jay-Z from his album The Blueprint²: The Gift & The Curse, released in 2002. 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.

“

Ain't no livin person can test him
Only two restin' in heaven
Can be mentioned in the same breath as him

”

No music video was made for "Hovi Baby", but the song was used in a Reebok ad, with the lyrics slightly altered.

The b-side of the single features a track also produced by Just Blaze, "U Don't Know (Remix)", featuring M.O.P..
