Jay-Z and More

Clara Amfo hosts Jay-Z at the 成人快手's Maida Vale studios. They catch up between tracks to talk about his career. Plus live music from Craig David, Royal Blood, Rudimental and Lorde.

Clara Amfo takes us behind the scenes of Radio 1's Live Lounge - the biggest live studio showcase in the world. Live Lounge sessions happen twice a week across the year, attracting an array of some of the biggest and best artists on the planet. In September, however, it gets turbo-charged with a performance every weekday across the whole month. We bring you the very best of the second week of performances and Live Lounge exclusive interviews.

Clara hosts Jay-Z at the 成人快手's legendary Maida Vale studios. They catch up between tracks to talk about his incredible career so far.

Also, there is live music from Craig David, Royal Blood, Rudimental and Lorde.

This is live performance with a twist as each artist performs their own track and a cover version. Any Live Lounge listeners will know that the cover version is usually a recently released single... but not this year! To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Radio 1, the cover can be any track from the last 50 years. The final episode this series is extra special with Jay- Z paying tribute to the late Chester Bennington of Linkin Park as he takes on Numb/Encore.
