Like many born and bred New Yorkers, rap mogul Jay-Z was irrevocably changed by the events of September 11, 2001, and on the tragic
day’s eighth anniversary, he’ll headline a major event to honor the fallen. “This charity and concert encompass the true spirit of New York City,” Jay-Z said in a statement. “We are asking everyone to ‘answer the call’ and support and honor the families of those that lost their lives in the line of duty. There was true camaraderie and resiliency that this city showed the world in 2001, and we continue that today by taking care of our own.” Ticket information will be announced soon, but Citi cardholders will have an exclusive first crack at tickets. For those who get shut out of what will undoubtedly be a sold-out show, Fuse will be broadcasting the concert live and commercial-free, and will be featuring Jay-Z programming throughout the following weekend that will support the Benefit Fund.
