US rappers T.I. And Jay-Z performed their collaboration 'Swagger Like Us' live in New York for the first time last night (September 30th).

The song, which appears on T.I.'s new album, 'Paper Trail', was rapturously received by fans at the Highline Ballroom.

The studio version of the song also features Kanye West and Lil' Wayne but neither rappers were on hand for last night's performance.

T.I. also showcased a host of other songs from his new album, including 'What Up, What's Happen'' and 'Live Your Life', which features Rihanna.

As previously reported, Jay-Z is expected to feature a reposte to 'Swagger Like Us' on his forthcoming album 'The Blueprint 3'.

The record, which has been produced by West, is said to be scheduled for release in December.
