His multifaceted success as a manager, A&R, label owner, and above all else, as a father and husband earned him high esteem, as did his innate intelligence.

Hovain’s resume includes work with everyone from platinum-selling artists like YFN Lucci, Flipp Dinero, and T-Pain, to New York’s heavyweights like Cam’Ron, Jim Jones, and Styles P.

His passion for music and hip-hop was never one-sided. From gritty hip-hop to some of the more modern vibes of the current era, he never hated, just appreciated.

His prominence in the hip-hop and R&B industries was recognized by Billboard, which included him on its Power player list.

Thanks @billboard @billboardhiphop , For adding me to the Hip hop and R&B Power player list and going on the list with my bro @jonnyshipes is even better. pic.twitter.com/Yy9dWoQM7F
