Jay-Z – Izzo (H.O.V.A.)

"Izzo (H.O.V.A.)" is a song by Jay-Z from his 2001 album The Blueprint. Produced by Kanye West, the track sampled the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" and combined soulful production with lyrics about Jay-Z's rise from street life to mainstream success in the music industry. The song also helped popularize the nickname "Hova," short for Jay-Hova, a play on Jehovah, which became closely associated with Jay-Z during the early 2000s.
