Live concert by Jay-Z filmed in 2015 at Terminal 5 in New York, during the now-legendary “B-Sides” show staged for subscribers of the TIDAL platform. Rather than his hits, the Brooklyn rapper — one of the most influential hip-hop artists in history — chooses to perform his B-sides and deep cuts: Young Gifted and Black, Streets Is Watching, Where I’m From, Politics as Usual, U Don’t Know, Dead Presidents and many more. This eagerly awaited full concert highlights the depth of his catalogue and his legendary flow, backed by a live band and the raw energy of a room fully on his side. The capture conveys the intensity of an intimate concert in which Jay-Z raps with the ease of a master of the genre. An essential live concert for fans of rap and New York hip-hop, a rare document devoted to the lesser-known tracks of a monumental discography, captured in the heart of Manhattan before an audience of connoisseurs in 2015. A must for hip-hop heads.
