Jay-Z to donate concert proceeds to charity

A benefit concert that rapper Jay-Z is planning for Sept. 11 is a step in the direction that his career — and life — is heading in, he said Monday at a news conference where he was joined by his wife, singer Beyonce Knowles.

The charity concert, which has been billed as "Answer the Call," will be at New York's Madison Square Garden and air live on Fuse TV. Jay-Z said he will donate all proceeds from the concert to the New York Police and Fire Widows' and Children's Benefit Fund.
