Jay-Z put on a thrilling show at the legendary Carnegie Hall last night (February 6) to benefit the United Way of New York City and the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation. It was the first time the mogul/rapper performed on stage since welcoming his history-making daughter Blue Ivy Carter into the world on January 7.

But his baby girl wasn’t far from his mind. Jay performed his touching Blue Ivy dedication song, “Glory,” for the very first time in front of the packed audience. “One hand in the air for Blue,” Jay urged the crowd. He rapped the song with a large orchestra behind him, with the stage lights tinted blue.
It was an emotional moment for the new father. “I ain’t think I was gonna make it through that one,” Jay said at the conclusion of the song. “That was tough.”
