"Iz U" is a song by the rapper Nelly, released in 2003 as a single from the album . It was released in the United States but had little airplay. It also saw moderate success in the United Kingdom, peaking at number 36. The song was also used for the film, The Haunted Mansion.[1]
The song is notable for its sampling of "The People's Court" theme song.[2] The instrumental track was originally used on "Put your hands up", a B-side to his single "Work It" featuring Justin Timberlake.
Similar to the film The Haunted Mansion, Nelly inherits a mansion from his recently deceased uncle and throws a house party. However, his guests soon start falling victim to the haunting of the house. Nelly soon confronts the evil spirit causing it all (also played by him) and defeats it by throwing an enchanted orb he received from a zombie at it. The evil spirit is destroyed and all the ghosts of the mansion are free.
