Backed by ?uestlove and the Illadelphonics, Jay kept the event true to his city as special guests Alicia Keys and Nas joined him on stage for “N.Y. State of Mind” and “If I Ruled The World (Imagine That).” Throughout the evening tribute segments to Frank Sinatra, Billy Joel, Gil-Scott Heron, and the NY Giants were played and displayed on the main stage’s backdrop. The night was also a first as Jay-Z performed his first-born dedication, “Glory” was done live.

The back-to-back shows are in support of Jay-Z’s Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation and the United Way. Which benefits low-income New York City-area students in a position to attend college.
