The Jigga Man blessed Carnegie Hall with his appearance last night, dressed in a black-trousers-white-jacket-and-bowtie tuxedo. This makes Jay-Z the second hip-hop artist to perform at Carnegie, and the first to headline (Wyclef performed in 2001).

And check this: The orchestra behind him included ?uestlove, Young Guru playing DJ and the neo-soul singer Bilal. Special guests included Alicia Keys and Nas, who performed their iconic city singles “Empire State of Mind” and “N.Y State of Mind.”

RESPECT. to Jay -Z as the proceeds of the benefit concert are going to the United Way of NYC and Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation for gifted high school students who aren’t financially positioned to attend college. Peep as Jay performs his newest “Glory” track below, honoring his newborn.
