Jay-Z the rapper -- not the producer, the mogul or hubby of Beyonce -- is back.

The talent, whose latest album, The Blueprint 3, hits stores Tuesday, will play a Friday charity concert in remembrance of the eighth anniversary of 9/11. The native New Yorker will donate the entire intake from ticket sales and merchandise to the New York Police & Fire Widows And Children's Benefit Fund.
