I like this song. The video begins by saying he made the song with his mouth wired because he was in a car accident. The video shows the credits that he produced "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)."

It's Number 34 on Urban and could chart on CHR-Rhythmic. Billboard already said it had peaked at Number 88 on R and B/Hip-Hop but it hasn't peaked.

I don't like it. Maybe it's because I already knew Chaka Khan's "Through The Fire" and the sample was just boring for me. The song has a dumb concept too. It's called "Through The Wire" because he recorded it when he had the medical wire in his mouth? Okkaayyy.

This is one of those songs that is gonna have a second life on its original format. It really hasnt got its push yet, but its gotta be coming. I think its going for adds in like 2 weeks. This ones been bubbling under for about 6 months now.
I DIG IT.

I love this song!
It's still in rotation on BET's RapCity, I remember the video premiered the 1st week of September.
It doesnt seem to be taking off, but it should, it's a really good song.
I love the sample and the hook, great.
His rapping seems a bit slow to me, but he's one of my favourite producers. I'll be looking forward to his album.

I'm starting to like it now. It's not as good as "Slow Jamz," but it's decent enough.

I have mixed feelings about this because Chaka's "Through the Fire" is one of my favorite Oldies R&B ballads. I don't like the fact that a one of the Chipmunks is now singing the hook on this song, but I like the rapping over the beat of the song.

This song is great. However, MTV2 is overplaying the video to this song. Even more than the other hit that he is featured in called "Slow Jamz." I see the video for "Through The Wire," almost every half hour on the network.
With this said, it is without a doubt that he is on his way to gaining a top 10 hit at Rhythmic and he is just inches away from the top 10 at Urban.

I've seen the video quite a few times on BET, and I don't watch music TV that much anymore. Maybe it's just coincidence.
