LOS ANGELES, CA (CelebrityAccess MediaWire) — After a stellar 2009, surpassing Elvis as the solo artist with the most # 1 albums, scoring a # 1 single with the anthemic “Empire State Of Mind” with Alicia Keys, performing during the World Series at Yankee Stadium, winning American Music Awards, sitting down with Oprah and staging a sold out 2009 tour, Jay-Z has added dates for his BP3 2010 North American tour. Jay-Z will make a hometown appearance on March 2nd when he returns to Madison Square Garden with a performance that is sure to galvanize New York City fans. He has also added a date at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville on March 5th. It was also announced that R&B singer Trey Songz will join Jay-Z and Grammy-nominated rapper Young Jeezy on the nationwide tour.

“Jay-Z is the greatest rapper alive. Anyone who was in attendance at his sold-out KeyArena concert Saturday night can attest to that fact.
