\n\tOn Friday (July 11), Jay-Z delivered the first night of his long-awaited three-night run at Yankee Stadium, and he did not disappoint.<\/p>\n
\n\tBilled as the Reasonable Doubt<\/em> evening for his day-one fans, Hov dazzled the crowd, reimagining his landmark 1996 debut alongside a live band. He seamlessly wove classics like \u201cAin\u2019t No N\u2014a\u201d into \u201cExcuse Me Miss,\u201d while also making the night a family affair. Beyonc\u00e9 joined him to sing the hook on \u201cCan\u2019t Knock the Hustle,\u201d and their eldest daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, took to the piano for a silky rendition of \u201cFeelin\u2019 It.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tWhen Jay shifted into a more defiant gear, he stunned fans with a sharp new freestyle aimed at critics of his recent Target deal. But the night wasn\u2019t all about proving a point. Leaning into nostalgia, he reunited with Memphis Bleek for \u201cComing of Age\u201d and Jaz-O for \u201cBring It On.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tThen, as if pulling guests out of thin air, Jay continued the surprises. Former rival Nas joined him for a mash-up of \u201cDead Presidents\u201d and \u201cNew York State of Mind,\u201d while Alicia Keys capped off one of the night\u2019s biggest moments with their Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit, \u201cEmpire State of Mind.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAmong the tens of thousands in attendance were LeBron James, Megan Thee Stallion, Tobey Maguire, Leonardo DiCaprio, DJ Khaled, Swizz Beatz, Knicks star OG Anunoby and more. With two more nights to go, who knows what more Jigga Man has up his sleeve.<\/p>\n \n\tCheck out the full setlist from Night One of Jay-Z\u2019s three-night Yankee Stadium run below.<\/p>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/lists\/jay-z-yankee-stadium-night-one-setlist\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/jay-z-2026-press-cr-roc-nation-billboard-1800.jpg?w=1024″] On Friday (July 11), Jay-Z delivered the first night of his long-awaited three-night run at Yankee Stadium, and he did not disappoint.
