Jay-Z is not one to let an event like Superbowl XLIV pass without leaving his mark, and last night, the MC kicked off CBS’ Super Bowl kickoff show accompanied by the Rutgers Symphony Orchestra for a “Posthumous Zone” version of “Run This Town.”

Rihanna did not make an appearence, but the song began with her recorded vocals. The clip was shot in New York last Tuesday and featured approximately 65 musicians from the Rutgers Symphony Orchestra and the Rutgers Sinfonia.

Maestro Kynan Johns said the school was approached about the job last month, and that the video shoot would help his students to see that “it takes a lot of time to get pop music to that level.”
