At a press conference on Monday, the rap guru announced he will curate and headline his own two-day music festival in Philadelphia this Labor Day weekend.

"Everyone knows my love affair with Philly from the amazing, talented artists I've signed from here," Jay-Z said to a group of reporters on the staircase of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the same stairs made famous in the film Rocky.

"Whenever I enter into a project, I try to hit on some touch points. The first thing is: Is it great? The second one is: Is it gonna push the culture forward?"
