"Hovi Baby" is a song by Jay-Z from his album The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse. It was released on November 12, 2002. It was released as the second single from the album. The song is produced by Just Blaze and contains a sample of the live version of "Diggin' on You" by TLC. It peaked at number 76 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. 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: 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.
