Jay-Z became a father last year. Now 12 of the rapping mogul’s most popular songs have been turned into lullabies. Rockabye Baby!’s Lullaby Renditions of Jay-Z reworks such Hova selections as “Empire State of Mind,” “Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)” and “Big Pimpin'” into lullabies. The album is slated for a July 9 release.
The new versions of Jigga’s songs are delivered with xylophones, bells and flutes. Jay-Z-themed kids’ games are used as liner notes and a recipe for “Big Pumpkin” baby food is also included with the project.
Rockabye Baby! releases a series of baby-friendly Rock and Rap albums and has remade the material of more than 50 artists into lullabies. Other artists who have had material reworked by Rockabye Baby! include Kanye West, Bob Marley and The Beatles. Television host Ellen DeGeneres says the series “puts [kids] to sleep with cool music that you’ll want to hear as well,” according to Rockabye Baby.
The Kanye West Rockabye Baby! album included lullaby renditions of “Gold Digger,” “Stronger” and “Good Life” among its 12 tracks.
Jay-Z and his wife Beyonce are the parents of Blue Ivy Carter, who was born January 7, 2012. Blue Ivy Carter became the youngest person to reach the Billboard charts when Jay-Z’s “Glory,” which featured a recording of Blue Ivy moments after she was born, entered the Billboard Hip Hop/R&B charts at No. 74 days after she was born.

first to comment niggassss!
Too bad Blue Ivy Carter is Ja Rule’s daughter
Ja Rule will murder Jay with the Shiv
Ja Rule released his debut reggae single, its called Welcome to Shivroc
These niggas getting desperate for money unlike Ja Rule, Ja Rule is work billions! #RuleTalk
Haha it’s funny cause all the songs Ja Rule made were for twelve year old girls. LOL
What in the mother of shit. Hahahahahaha
Checkout thegrandreport, they got some good stuff on there too
ITS MURDA!!! lullaby hits baby! lol
Should’ve done Chief Keef’s material instead of Hov’s. Jay-Z is an old fart who’s music won’t mean shit to the kids. Keef is much younger and his music can reach adults (like myself) AND kids. That is why his album is such a classic and he is the best new artist of the decade. He’s got the universal appeal.
Are you an idiot? cuz u must be..
kee’s music relate to the kids? this article is talkin about lullabies, which means for babies not kids.. and 2nd, keef aint relating to no grown men, maybe he relating to kids becuz of the non-sense he spittin.
Remember.. Wu for the kids. not Keef loll
PS – keef does not have nor will ever have a classic.
Also, he doesn’t have universal appeal and is not the best artist of the decade.
I wanna see they do that with 2 Live Crew’s music
Not as much as they can with Ja Rule’s music
best rap nigga in the game all these other rappers bow down to the god mc hov
Ultimately at the end Ja Rule decides what tracks go on the album
Ja Rule is home and shits about to get crazy this summer, queens aint prepared
shits about to be unpredictable, cause ja rule is a legend with the mic
they can only release this album if Ja Rule gets to fuck their girls
Ja Rule got mad shiv game, he’s been practicing up in the joint
seriously are you ja rules gay lover= i mean seriously????
everyday u post some bullshit about ja rule, do u actually want his meat up your ass or what?? i bet any money your just a smart ass little kid no more than 17/18
Ja Rule’s about to end your favorite rappers career
genius honestly this mans business skills are top in the game better than diddy. A lullabye album who think of this props to Jigga man
it wasn’t his idea, dummy… the company who made it has done the same thing with many other artists from many different genres of music
aint no one buying that junk
ga-z is the closest thing to a primate ive ever seen
Jay-Z & UGK present: Big Pimpin’ for Children

As an accountant for YMCMB I can confirm Jay Z does not want to go to war with YMCMB. Wayne already said that if Jay Z disses one more time, he will go Mel Gibson on him. The YMCMB army is built for war. Wayne a certified gangsta. He got 3 tear drops, did a bid on the island and all that. Wayne ethered rappers and even caused permanent damage to Dez Bryant’s knee. Jay is wack. All Wayne has to do is throw him a rock and Jay will fuck his life up again
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
Good joke.
I declare war on YMCMB
Need to make a Ja Rule lullaby album so your little niggas can grow up to be millionaire gang bangers just like our nigga Ja.
A Ja Rule lullaby would just be Ja Rule screaming while getting ass raped in prison…Ja will be like “Big Bubba, your dick in my ass…IT’S MURRRRDAAAAAAAA!!!!”
that was ok. i think there are funnier things to say.
Baby Baby put it on me. Go to Sleep. What would I be without you????????? Holla!!!!!!
LOL
THIS IS SCARY AS FUCK! WOW
Wow Gay-z is better than Wayne because he has more money & he dresses in suits and tuxedos. Gay-z better because he is always on the radio with his commercial cRAP songs… Gay-z is better than Wayne because he is married to Beyonce… Gay-z is better than Wayne because he is always making moves & Gay-z is better than Wayne because he is a Rold Model to little Justin Beiber bitches…
(Its called being Sarcastic)
JAY-Z SUCKS DICK…HIS LIPS WAS DESIGNED TO SUCK DICK & LIP GLOSS,NOT TO RAP…
“HIS LIPS WAS DESIGNED TO SUCK DICK”
Thats what u think about when u look at a nigga face? Dude u got some sick homosexual tendencies.
Lol dentalfagboy loves those camel lips.
This nicca is a str8 bitch now,his body producing estrogen. Beyonce’s little lap dog,faggot.
What a fag
ja rule owns this broke ass nigga.. ja rule = first rap nigga to get 1 billion dollars
hahaha this is awesome
The Second this album drops, its going to be banging from every street corner.
More money for Jay-z. This guy would do anything for money
Money, Cash, Hoes ought to be a big hit at the daycare. I can’t wait till it hits track 4 and some kids asks what a PIMP is.
Anybody need they dick sucked
Is that a question or a affirmative?
@R.Kelly
Nigga what?

Dope album concept. . . For me to poop on!
damn, so this is what happened to hip hop. some of the forefathers are rolling in their graves as we speak!!!
Bonita Applebaum
U-N-I-T-Y
Keep Your Head Up
Those would be cool songs to convert. Y’all are too narrow minded, those old schoolers can get some bread.
So wack. How jigga went from rappin about sellin kilos and pushin made weight and now hes makin music for babies???? Fuckin bullshit. The only thing on his mind now is makin money, its not about keepin it real anymore. If the jay z from reasonable doubt saw this he’d probably slap himself in the face or even beat the shit outta him. Very disappointing
And if he was rapping about selling kilos now would that be “real”.He is a father and a legitimate business man. I feel bad for you dude. Grow!
“I whip the coke let the lawyer beat the case”- Jay Z ‘3 Kings’ 2012
But I do agree volta is being an oversensitive bitch right now, Jay has a publishing catalog, and this is what they do with publishing. ‘Kidz Bop’ does the same thing, all 23 volumes of it, and you ain’t crying about that.
eminem already has this
Rockabye Baby music just keeps on adding to the star studded line-up! Personally i can’t go past Coldplay.
