If Blue Ivy ever has trouble nodding off in her million-dollar nursery, this new compilation should do the trick.

Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Jay-Z features 12 of Jay-Z’s hits in a soporific style, with the volume turned down and drums and samples swapped for xylophones and bells.

Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Jay-Z is out on 9 July, and you can hear snippets over on the Rockabye Baby! website. [via CoS]
