Jay-Z and Alicia Keys will perform their homage to New York, "Empire State of Mind," to kick off Wednesday's first game of the World Series featuring the rapper's hometown Yankees against defending champs, the Philadelphia Phillies.
The song has become an unofficial anthem for the team, and has generated a number of versions featuring altered lyrics that praise the ball club.
Jay-Z said he started preparing for tomorrow's performance last week - when the Yankees were just one game away from winning the ALCS.
"I think it was 3-1, and they had lost that game and made it 3-2. I'm like, 'Man.' I had the truck coming with the stage and all that. I'm like, 'Man, these guys gotta come on,'" Jay told MTV. "We was almost selfish."
Following their "Empire State of Mind" performance, Keys will sing the National Anthem.
