Blue Ivy, the spawn of two musical geniuses, is, unsurprisingly, on her way to becoming a musical genius. The five year old gave us a taste of her personal style on a bonus track from 4:44, her dad’s latest album, which as of today is available outside Tidal.
Though a majority of her rap is incomprehensible, it’s still somehow amazingly good. Blue raps, “Never seen a ceiling in my whole life,” which is both an observation on how high the ceilings must be in the Carter family home and a comment on the proverbial glass ceiling that hangs over the heads of women in any profession. We guarantee you were never that insightful at five.
