Jay-Z feat Alicia Keys- Empire State of Mind

One of the most anthemic songs of the year finally has an official music video for fans to watch and enjoy. Empire State of Mind, an ode to Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' hometown New York City, has gained major steam in the past month. Their performance at the 2009 Video Music Awards fueled the fire that is now the buzz this song has generated. When that song plays you feel like New York City is a grungy but magical place where dreams come true. Many who have listened to the riveting song would say that the song has an unparalleled "vibe".

I loved the song from the first time I heard it. The prestine vocals of Alicia Keys and the honest and at certain times grimy lyrics of Jay-Z's verses capture New York in the few minutes song plays. The music video just further emphasizes the message these two are trying to relay. People you must watch the video and feel the passion these artist are pouring out of themselves into the this amazing piece of art.
