JAY-Z puts on for his city. This February, King Hov will headline two shows at Carnegie Hall to raise money for the United Way of New York City and the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation. You’ll get two opportunities to see Hov take the stage in New York for a great cause: February 6 and February 7, 2012.

The dollars will benefit under-served New York City schools and put college within the reach of low-income students across the five boroughs. New York City has the largest income gap in the United States, with as much as thirty percent of its children living in impoverished conditions. Jay is urging philanthropists to help build better lives for the underprivileged.

“It’s every artist’s dream to play a venue as legendary as Carnegie Hall,” commented Shawn “JAY Z” Carter. ”The fact that I can use the arts and my talent to benefit the education of the next generation of artists, entrepreneurs, and great thinkers makes for a legendary night. I’m proud to be a part of the continuing work of United Way of New York City and expanding the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation.”
