Take the case of Egypt, son of Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz. Now, when your mother has a way with the ivories and the voice of an angel, and your father has worked with everyone who’s ever written a good rap song, you would think that you would have an inherent gift for music.
Now Egypt doesn’t claim to be the best producer in the world (at five years old, it’d be impossible for him to be) but his father might already be hinting that Egypt is the next big thing.
How’s That For A First Project?
Egypt is listed as a producer on the seventh track of Kendrick Lamar’s untitled unmastered. Again, EGYPT a FIVE YEAR OLD produced one of KENDRICK LAMAR’S tracks.
Besides the fact that with how Kendrick’s music sells Egypt could retire off the royalties when he’s like eight, he also was good enough to craft a beat, for KENDRICK LAMAR.
People question how legit the credit actually is, but if you keep up on Swizz’s Instagram, you’ll realize that Egypt is, in fact, talented and while he may not be a five-year-old maestro playing Beethoven (which there are plenty of on the Internet) he does have the vision and the keyboard chops to lay down some pretty sick material.
