In an effort to galvanize the vote of black millennials, Hillary Clinton's campaign is turning to the one and only Sean "Jay-Z" Carter for help.

According to Buzzfeed News, the rapper is slated to perform a show before Nov. 8 to energize young voters in the swing state of Ohio ahead of the general election.

Jay-Z, alongside Beyoncé, are no strangers to the Clinton family and have been seen with the family at festivals and fundraisers.

The two artists were key pop culture figures in President Barack Obama's run for a second term. Jay-Z performed on the Obama campaign trail, while Beyoncé sang at his second inauguration.

"For too long we were excluded from the American dream, and now we have a chance to be a part of that American dream," Jay-Z said on stage in 2012 during an Obama rally.

Now, it seems Jay-Z is backing the Clinton campaign, which snagged Ohio's own LeBron James as as another high-profile supporter.

Details of Jay-Z's performance have not been released, but Mashable has reached out to a representative for confirmation and will update this post with new information accordingly.
