Jay‑Z has sampled his daughter in a track all about her

  • January 10, 2012

Jay‑Z's newborn daughter Blue Ivy has made her recording debut on his song for her, 'Glory'.

The rapper uploaded the track to his blog yesterday and it features Blue Ivy — credited as BIC (like the pens) — gargling a bit.

"The most amazing feeling I feel," Carter Snr muses. "Words can’t describe what I’m feeling for real. Baby, I paint the sky blue, my greatest creation was you."

The sur­pris­ingly personal lyrics also reveal that Beyoncé had pre­vi­ously suffered a miscarriage.

Have a listen to 'Glory' feat BIC here.
