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.

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..
