For those who missed it, JAY-Z‘s, 47, latest album 4:44, which was released back in June, features his and Beyonce‘s, 36, adorable five-year-old daughter Blue Ivy. But not only is Blue on the bonus track “We Family,” she actually RAPS — plus, according to Jay, she was totally free styling in the studio and sounded “amazing!” Sitting down with BBC Radio 1 in a new interview that was published on Sept. 22, the rapper/producer gushed about his talented daughter and how she ended up saving his now-hit song.

“That young lady, she can write the beat!” the BBC interviewer told Jay, referring to Blue’s musical debut on 4:44. And of course, the proud father couldn’t help but agree. “Her pockets are amazing,” he said of his little girl. “I taped her doing that. She literally did that one time. That was one time, five minutes.” Explaining how it all unfolded, Jay admitted that Blue being on the album was not planned from the start — it was just a happy accident! “That was right at the end of the album, I had just recorded ‘Family Feud,’ and I was happy with the recording. So I said, ‘Bring up the ‘We Family’ track, Ima try to improve on that,'” Jay said.

“And we brought it up and I couldn’t come up with anything. So, I’m playing the track and [Blue’s] listening, and she was probably like, ‘Hey Pop, this is how you do it.’ I was like, ‘Forget it,’ so I left her alone, and she climbed up on the stool, put on the headphones, and she just started going.” Pretty amazing, right? I guess it’s just in your blood when both your parents are super talented musicians! “I don’t know what she was saying, but ‘never seen a ceiling in my whole life’ is the most genius line on the album, I must say,” Jay added. “For the rest of that, she was just free styling and she was just finding really good pockets. I was like, ‘Oh my God, this kid!'”
