He released his first albums under the Jovanotti byname to later switch into his real name (Lorenzo), as of the mid-nineties.
Most of his output is hip-hop influenced, although not most of his work should be viewed as hip hop music per se. Many of his songs are not hip hop related and may probably be best viewed as part of the earlier Italian cantautore tradition. Some of his earlier work is also closer to keyboard-heavy 1980s pop. Most of his songs are sung in the Italian language; he also released a Spanish-language greatest hits album. His live album includes a short version of the Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight". Jovanotti appears on several international compilations, most notably Red Hot + Rhapsody, a 1998 tribute to George Gershwin, on which he performed "I Got Rhythm". Jovanotti has also appeared in one Luciano Pavarotti's charity concert in 1996.
His CD, Buon Sangue, includes influences from both rock and old school hip hop. It is one of his most innovative works to date. Edoardo Bennato collaborated on one track, while bass player Saturnino co-wrote two of the songs.
One of his most recent CDs, "Ora", breaks new ground with a new style of production.

Ascolta Leon Faun, Shade, LeTranslate e capisci che "Gimme Five" è un aborto mancato di canzone.
Jovanotti:
- era stonato come la mer**
-creava testi insensati
-faceva pochissime rime
-le poche rime che faceva erano insensate
-nei suoi testi ricordava sempre che la sua tipa era calda e nuda.
Che sono le stesse robe di cui ti lamenti delle canzoni di adesso, facendo di tutta l'erba un fascio.
Quindi sei solamente un ipocrita, nostalgico delle vecchie generazioni.
@sigmapleide
Eravamo bambini e la ascoltavamo in gita alle elementari nel pullman. Le maestre non ne potevano più...
@fabriziopaltrinieri8004
Una canzone così in confronto a certe cagata di adesso farebbe un successo enorme
@alessiograssi13
In quell'anno Massimo Ranieri vinceva il festival di Sanremo. Questo pezzo fu una rivoluzione musicale, portò il rap al successo nazionale in Italia con base elettronica, testo in rima parlato, ritornello cantato. Più rap di così...
