Jay-Z performed the first of two charity benefit concerts at Carnegie Hall last night, a venue which has never played host to a rapper before. Thankfully someone in attendance captured some of what went down for us who couldn’t be there, up top Hov performs Glory for the first time and after the jump he’s joined on stage by NaS & Alicia Keys.

French kept his promise that he made in his interview with Angie Martinez and flipped his Shot Caller track to give it that Giants Superbowl winners feel.

JP & Hyperfrank chopped it up with Benny Banks about signing to a Major, his new single Bada Bing, comparisons and more.
‘Arrival’ is my new HipHop night which started last week. The focus is about new diverse artists, good music, and creating a platform to help launch new artists.
T Mills is another artist that has fully embraced the Internet. He didn’t wait for Radio, the labels, or the usual Industry hype, he made his own music, got his own fanbase in the US, Europe, and Asia.
This was his first performance in the UK, and he tore it up, expect to see him in and out of the UK over the next few years.
L Marshall, Scru Fizzer, and Random Impulse were also on the bill, and each artist rocked the stage, and this months guest DJ was my good friend Mr Hudson.
It was a great night, first of many.
