Jay Z is going to stage a concert in support of Hillary Clinton in the swing state of Ohio before Election Day. The Cleveland concert will take place on Friday, November 4th at an undisclosed location and focusing on mobilizing black voters ahead of the November 8th presidential election. While Clinton currently holds a narrow lead against Donald Trump in most polls in the crucial swing state, a huge turnout by the African-American community would make it difficult for Trump to capture the Buckeye State, Buzzfeed reports.

organizers wrote  in a statement on the event, that "tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis near the Cuyahoga County Board of elections at 3030 Euclid Avenue from Friday, October 28th to Sunday, October 30th, and beginning on Monday, October 31st at Hillary for Ohio campaign offices." Fans can take attempt to win tickets at a special site created for the event.

The rapper joked at the gig of Republican nominee Romney,  "I got 99 problems but Mitt ain't one,"

Both Jay Z and Beyoncé are staunch supporters of Hillary Clinton, participating in fundraisers for the candidate. The couple even hung out with former president Bill Clinton during the Made in America festival in Philadelphia.

A Democratic source added that the concert might feature an appearance by Akron's prodigal son LeBron James, who recently pledged his allegiance to Hillary Clinton in an op-ed.
