In a pre-recorded video, Obama said Jay-Z’s personal story is “what Made In America means” and urged concert-goers to vote, according to press reports.

Obama will face off against former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney in the November 6 presidential election.

Jay-Z, a rapper who hails from the housing projects of Brooklyn, is among hip hop’s most successful entrepreneurs.
