Mr. Carter really brought the heat this weekend. JAY-Z’s epic Made in America festival was chock-full of some amazing performers, but it’s safe to say that the artist everyone wanted to see was the Business Man himself. The Roc-A-Fella mastermind closed out the festivities at Benjamin Franklin Park in Philadelphia, and did so with an absolute bang. If you weren’t able to check out the concert in-person, the folks over at TIDAL have you covered. JAY’s entire set has been uploaded to the streaming service in two parts and the whole video is available in high definition.
If you’re planning to sit down and consume the entire performance, prepare yourself according. The show clocks in at over an hour and features a few epic surprises, including appearances by Meek Mill and Damian Marley. At one point during the night, JAY leads the crowd in singing “Happy Birthday” to Beyonce, who was in attendance supporting her husband. Of course, the real event was all about Shawn Carter, who rocked the stage alongside a massive balloon animal designed by contemporary artist, Jeff Koons.
JAY delivered a showcase of classics throughout the evening, and even sprinkled in a few cuts off of his latest masterpiece, 4:44.
