Jay-Z, Alicia Keys Unleash 'Empire State Of Mind' At World Series

October 30, 2009
Jay-Z, Alicia Keys Unleash 'Empire State Of Mind' At World SeriesJay-Z and Alicia Keys performed at game two of the world series in New York on Thursday (October 29).

The pair sang the rapper's ode to New York and new single 'Empire State Of Mind' at Yankee Stadium.

A host of celebrities – including Bruce Willis and producer Swizz Beatz – watched the performance from the bleachers.

Jay-Z and Keys had originally been due to perform the song at game one on Wednesday but it was put back due to fears over possible adverse weather conditions.

Speaking before the show, the rapper said: "I'm beyond excited about it, and on top of that, it's a New York record.

“It's a record that pays homage to New York. The timing of that couldn't be better.”

The rapper is due to head to the UK next month to perform a one-off show at Alexandra Palace in London.
