Posted by Harlem, NY – Alicia Keys had a one-off show at Harlem’s Apollo Theater as part of SiriusXM and Pandora’s Small Stage Series on Thursday night (November 11). The R&B legend tore down the house with an exhilarating performance, and one of the highlights was when Jadakiss and Styles P made a surprise appearance.
It’s not every day two members of the legendary rap group, The LOX, take the stage at an R&B concert, but as they showed during their dominating Verzuz battle against Dipset in August, the boys from Yonkers, New York are always up for a challenge.
Alicia Keys had Jadakiss and Styles P join her towards the beginning of her set, where they performed a live band version of the rappers’ 2001 classic “We Gonna Make It.” In footage shared on social media, Kiss and Ghost arrive on the iconic Apollo stage dressed in formal attire with shades to match while they breeze through their verses.
