According to MTV: Jay-Z and Alicia Keys were spotted shooting the video for "Empire State of Mind" in New York's Tribeca neighborhood as well as around Ground Zero on Wednesday. Hype Williams is directing the clip. Keys recently told MTV News that she always figured the two native New Yorkers would do some kind of collaboration together. "I've admired Jay-Z for a long time. Reasonable Doubt is my all-time favorite album, period, and he's been on the scene for long time. I always figured that we would do some type of collaboration, and finally, it came together with this," she said. "He reached out to me said, 'I have this big New York record. I feel its right for us to do it together. It has this big Frank Sinatra, take-it-there feeling. I feel like you could really do something with it. I went by [the studio], took a listen to it. I really felt the energy of New York all through it. It felt classic, it felt so good; the piano obviously was in there. I said, 'I love it, so let's do it.' We communicated a lot during the process. I think we both are really happy with how it came out".
