The New Yorkers will perform their collaboration “Empire State of Mind” for the first time together at the 26th annual show, airing live September 13 at 9 p.m. EST from New York City’s Radio City Music Hall. The dedication to the Big Apple can be heard on Jay-Z’s new album The Blueprint 3 and in VMA promos.
Keys’ longtime producing partner Kerry “Krucial” Brothers broke the news on Twitter. “Alicia Keys will be performing w/ Jay-Z,” he wrote.
