Opening night of JAY-Z‘s three-night run at Yankee Stadium was a homerun to say the least.

As reported, the mini-residency – already one of the year’s most highly anticipated events on the live circuit – saw the Hip-Hop legend use night 1 (July 10) to homage the 30th anniversary of his classic debut album ‘Reasonable Doubt.’

Tapping an all-star list of guests, wife Beyonce (who helped him deliver a stunning live performance of the LP’s Mary J. Blige-assisted hit ‘Can’t Knock the Hustle‘), daughter Blue Ivy, Alicia Keys (who performed ‘Empire State of Mind‘), fellow Rap icon Nas, Memphis Bleek, JAZ-O, and more helped make the concert an unforgettable evening for the Bronx.

Ahead of night 2 (July 11), look inside for highlights from JAY’s Yankee Stadium opening night performance.

“When I raise my son, atone from my sins / When I stack my papes, when I deal with these men / None of them could ever be me / J-I-L-L S-C-O-T-T in the place to be (Yeah) / Norf Philly, baby,” Scott says in the song showing off her Rap skills.

Released Friday (July 10), hop inside to get acquainted with ‘Norf’ courtesy of its official music video.

Coco Jones may have left her dedicated fans (affectionately called #CoCaptains) concerned after dropping a video discussing uncertainty about the future of her music career, but – as new song ‘Body So Tea’ evidences – one thing the burgeoning R&B diva has no lack of is self-confidence.

Her first solo single release since the March-released ‘Luvagirl,’ the July 10-unveiled ‘Body’ shines as a mid-tempo groove shining with self-affirmative lyrics of loving oneself.

“Body so tea, hair, nails done, skin glowin’ / Body so tea, body’s, body so tea / I don’t even try / I look good and that’s for me, myself and I / I know you think that you’re the reason why / But I dedicate my life to me,” she sings over Stargate production.

At writing, it’s not clear if ‘Body’ and ‘Luvagirl’ will be loaded onto the tracklist of Jones’ highly anticipated sophomore album – the follow-up to 2025’s ‘Why Not More?‘

Until we find out for sure, hop inside to hear the new song in full.
