advertisements / HOVA Lane

Copy & Art: Nathan Hoang

 

At some point in Jay Z's career, he started calling himself Hova and adopted the diamond hand sign. To show appreciation to Jay Z, "HOVA Lane" signs were placed on J/Z trains and platforms suggesting a name change to the public transportation.

 

 

At hovalane.com, users can download the sign for themselves by tweeting to Jay Z about

the endeavour to get "HOVA Lane" into the vernacular. They can also engage in a rap battle against the J/Z train since no one's ready to rap battle against the real Jay Z.

Except maybe Lil' Wayne.

 

Hova Lane teamed up with I Love Charts to promote their upcoming book,

I Love Charts Book by hosting a rap battle between the two.

 

Users get to see the rap battle in real time, which consists of rhymes illustrated

with charts, unfold in a Google Presentation Doc which will later be turned into a music video.

My first real appreciation for Jay Z was when "Big Pimpin'" came out in high school. I played the flute in the marching band at the time and learned how to play that flute part while others rapped along.
