JAY-Z Pays Tribute To Chester Bennington

By Hayden Wright

(RADIO.COM) – In 2004, JAY-Z and Linkin Park released Collision Course, an EP of collaborations that produced the GRAMMY-winning mashup "Numb/Encore." At the time, it was a groundbreaking synthesis of mainstream rap and popular nu-metal, introducing LP and Hova to new audiences. In the weeks since Chester Bennington's death, tributes have poured in; At Staffordshire's V Festival on Saturday Night, JAY-Z joined the chorus with his own memorial performance.

The show marked Jay's first since Bennington's death and he performed "Numb/Encore."

"Please make some noise so he can hear you all the way in heaven tonight," the rapper said. Additionally, Jay made the live debut of some new material from 4:44, including "Kill Jay Z," "The Story of O.J." and "Family Feud."
