Love Jay Z's older albums? Us too – which is why we're thrilled to hear about Hov's new concert, where he'll be performing only rare tracks that he hasn't performed live in a decade – or ever. Fans can win free tickets to this all-throwbacks show, held at a yet-to-be-announced NYC venue on May 13.

There's just one catch – the contest is through TIDAL. Dubbed TIDAL X: Jaÿ-Z B-Sides, the concert will be live-streamed on TIDAL, and the streaming service gives users a chance to win tickets by making a playlist and sharing on Twitter, using the hashtag #TIDALXJAYZ. Luckily, TIDAL offers all subscribers a 30-day free trial, so anyone can enter free of charge.

Want to win two tickets to this amazing-sounding event? Here's how:

1. Log into TIDAL (or sign up for the free trial if you're not a member)

2. Create your own playlist and share on Twitter using the hashtag #TIDALXJAYZ.

3. Complete this submission form on TIDAL.

The playlists don't have to just include Jay Z songs – they'll be judged by their diversity of artists and genres, as well as their overall flow, so choose your tracklist wisely. You have until May 8 to enter the contest, so happy playlisting!

And longtime Jay Z fans may recognize this alternate spelling of his name:

No, Jaÿ-Z isn't actually Jay Z's Scandinavian cousin – that's a throwback spelling, last seen on 1996's Reasonable Doubt.
