Jay-Z and Alicia Keys are set to perform their hit anthem “Empire State of Mind” as the New York Yankees take on defending World Series champs, the Philadelphia Phillies, in Game 1 of the World Series this Wednesday night. Better not tell, Lil Mama! The Bronx Bombers have been blasting the Hov/A. Keys collabo during their playoff run. Now, the team is having the duo perform the song live.

“Thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee,” an excited Jay-Z said of the pending performance in an interview on Monday

The hip-hop impressario calls the opportunity a “once in a lifetime experience.”
