Jay-Z to perform at World Series
NEW YORK — The New York Yankees have been blasting Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind” during their playoff run. Now, the team is having the rap king perform the song live to kick off Game 1 of the World Series.
Jay-Z and fellow New Yorker Alicia Keys are set to perform the hit on Wednesday, as the Yankees take on defending World Series champs, the Philadelphia Phillies.
In an interview Monday, Jay-Z was excited about the performance, and said: “Thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee.”
He calls the opportunity a “once in a lifetime experience.”
