Get ready, HTC fans — the new One A9 smartphone is just hours away from its official unveiling in New York City.

HTC is live-streaming the whole thing from the Barclays Center with special guests like Jay Z, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne — and you can watch it all right here from 12 p.m. EST.

The One A9 is the “iPhone clone” we’ve been seeing a lot of in recent weeks. It is expected to be a midrange device with a high-end form factor made out of metal, and HTC’s first smartphone to go sale with Android 6.0 Marshmallow pre-installed.

HTC’s event kicks off at 12 p.m. EST/9 a.m. PST, and you’ll be able to watch it all in the live-stream below. The company has teamed up with Tidal, the music-streaming service owned by Jay Z, and promises performances from Jay Z himself, Beyoncé, Usher, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, T.I., and more.
