Backed by a 36-piece orchestra, Hip-Hop entrepreneur and icon Sean Carter performed the Neptunes-produced track for the first time ever. Watch the performance below.
With the natural birth of Blue Ivy Carter, Jay Z marked the occasion by dedicating an unreleased track titled glory paying tribute to his wife and mother of his daughter Beyonce Knowles-Carter and their new born baby girl Blue Ivy, rumour has it that the unique name stems from a combination of the genius bodies of work that many say consist of Beyonce and Jay-Z’s best work, Blue as in The Blueprint and Ivy as in the roman numerals IV representative of Beyonce’s current album 4.
