10. Mavado feat. Jay-Z “On The Rock”
Before Drake, Hov was the first rap star to recognize the value in an alliance with the “Gully God.” “On the Rock” still feels a bit underwhelming considering the magnitude of the personalities involved but it warrants inclusion on the strength of being a) Jay-Z’s first and only overture to the reggae market and b) Mavado’s first major collaboration with an American MC.
