After being peeked through two on-set pictures, Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind" music video is now made available for brief look via footage taken during the filming process. The rap mogul is seen rapping while sitting on the iron fence on the edge of the pavement in Harlem.

Along with behind-the-scene clip, another photo taken from the video's set is also found on a Twitter account of a fan by the name FABNEWYORK. It features a screenshot of the on-set footage. "Empire State of Mind" video is directed by Hype Williams and hasn't had any release date just yet. Though rumor suggests that Jay-Z's collaborator Alicia Keys will make a cameo, she is nowhere to be seen in the footage.

"Empire State of Mind" is one of the singles appearing in Jay-Z's September 11 release "The Blueprint 3" which is currently sitting at number 2 on Billboard Hot 200. The song was first showcased live on-stage during 2009 MTV Video Music Awards on September 13.
