Mad Decent Block Party attendees in Brooklyn expected a lineup that included Boombox Cartel, DJ Snake, Slushii and more. However, their ticket value practically tripled when Drake made a surprise appearance last night. The Canadian rapper took the stage during Boi-1da’s set and performed some of his biggest hits of late: “Jumpman,” “Back to Back,” “Energy,” and the DJ Khaled collaboration, “For Free.”

Drake is currently in the Big Apple for a series of Madison Square Garden shows on his Summer Sixteen tour, which wraps up tonight. As usual, the sweater-loving nice guy decided to go out in style, giving fans across the river something to tweet about.

Check out some fan-gathered media from Drake’s surprise set:
