The Harder They Fall — an all-Black Western starring Idris Elba, Jonathan Majors, Regina King, Zazie Beetz, LaKeith Stanfield, and more — will be hitting Netflix in a matter of weeks, and to celebrate its forthcoming release, Jeymes Samuel and Jay-Z, who serve as the film's director and co-producer, respectively, hosted a star-studded movie premiere at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium on Wednesday night.
It appears that the premiere wasn't just a high-profile celebrity screening, either. According to HipHopDX, Jay-Z and Seal, who is the older brother of Jeymes Samuel, blessed the crowd with a rare intimate performance, in which they performed several classic tracks.
Along with the help of Young Guru on the 1s and 2s, Jay-Z led the jam session with throwback performances of his 90s and 2000s classics, and you can see a lot of the footage from Wednesday night's premiere below.
Here's a clip of Jay-Z performing his rare 2008 freestyle to Too $hort's "Blow The Whistle."

Even though his famed collaborators Jaz-O and Amil were not in attendance, Jay-Z still managed through his 1999 single "Nigga What, Nigga Who (Originator 99)," with some background vocal support from Seal.
