From the streets of New York City comes Jay-Z's Vol. 2 Hard Knock Life. This landmark album made an immediate impact on the hip-hop world, moving over 6 million copies and topping the Billboard charts. Jay-Z's hard-hitting yet catchy lyrics illustrate how much of a Hard Knock Life he's had growing up in the streets of Brooklyn, while features such as DMX, Ja Rule and Foxy Brown add an extra layer to these classic tracks. From the audacious sounds of the Annie soundtrack sampled on the title track to the percussive beats that can only come from Timbaland, this album features some of the greatest producers providing a platform for H.O.V.A.'s signature flow.
