First Blue Ivy had two songs on the Billboard charts, now Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys’ 5-year old son, Egypt, has started racking up production credits.
In the wee hours of Friday morning, Kendrick Lamar dropped a surprise album, “Untitled Unmastered.” What many may not know is one of the tracks, “2014 – 2016,” was produced by Swizz’s young son, an accomplishment Swizz refers to as one of his proud dad moments.
“This is the best Dad moment everrrrr,” Swizz posted to Instagram. “Congrats to my son Egypt for producing his 1st track on this amazing Kendrick Album. Thanks #Kendrick for investing in the future!!”
“2014 – 2016” appears as Track 7 on Kendrick’s new album. The proud pop even posted a video of Egypt working on the beat with absolutely no help from dad. “He got up that morning humming a melody….. We went to the piano to find it….he picked it out by ear….he loves to play…. I know that feeling,” Alicia says of Egypt’s first song placement. “Congratulations Egypt for practicing and learning and trying and listening to the music in your heart!”
I’m sure Alicia Keys and Swizz have been aware of their Baller Baby’s hidden talent for a while. Just imagine, at 5 I couldn’t even color in the lines yet.
Congrats to Baby Beatz!
