One of the most successful rappers of all time, Jay-Z, is branching out from the streets of New York and expanding his fan base to babies, as his hits are to be turned into lullabies for youngsters.

Rockabye baby takes classic rock music and turns it into lullabies for babies and children, trading guitars and drums for xylophones and bells and counts Victoria Beckham and Elton John amongst its customers.

Jay-Z's Lullaby Renditions album will feature his top hits including 'Run this Town', 'Show Me What You Got' and 'Young Forever'.

Clearly Blue Ivy has become the muse in her father's life.
