New York was abuzz over the birth of baby girl Blue Ivy to one of the Big Apple’s most glamorous couples, rapper Jay-Z and R&B singer Beyonce. Curious onlookers and TV satellite vans staked out Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan’s posh Upper East Side, waiting for a glimpse of Blue Ivy Carter, born Saturday, and her proud parents.
Jay-Z welcomed his daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, into the world by penning a new song and taking to the mic to express his joy. He released ‘Glory feat. B.I.C.’ on his website Monday, using lyrics to reveal intimate details about his relationship with wife Beyonce and the birth.
Jay-Z’s song is the most recent musical tribute to a newborn, but it is by no means the first. Inspired by his daughter Aisha Wonder, Stevie Wonder wrote ‘Isn’t She Lovely’ and like Jay-Z, included her crying on the track. Former Beatle John Lennon wrote the song ‘Beautiful Boy’ for his son, Sean.
