Jay-Z to Play Carnegie Hall CheapOair Staff December 9, 2011 general It’s Hovi Baby! There’s always something to do in New York no matter time of the year you book your airline tickets. This February will be cold but Jay-Z will be setting the Carnegie Hall stage on fire performing two shows. The Brooklyn native will be doing the shows in support of his Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation and the United Way of New York. It all goes down on Feb. 6th and 7th. It will be the first time a hip-hop artist will be performing solo on the Carnegie Hall stage. Jay-Z commented on the honor in the CBS report. “Any time that I get a chance to expand and broaden the reach of hip-hop is a great thing for me on a personal level,” he said. Photo: mikebarry
