Young HOV

1/1 Jay-Z. H-to-the-Izzo, V-to-the-Izzay. J HOVA circa 1988. The world shook when Jay dropped Reasonable Doubt in '96. No one knew this young man would go from serving crack on the corner to one of rap music's biggest icons. From his gritty old school tracks to his radio hits that became club anthems, music hasn't been the same since he stepped on the scene, and hip hop culture owes a lot to his influence. Throw up your diamonds.
