Turns out that daughter Blue Ivy, born just 2 days ago, has already turned him into a softie. In a new track, “Glory feat. B.I.C.,” which has just been released on his web site, Jay reveals that the birth of Blue followed a heartbreaking miscarriage, that she was conceived in Paris, and that he considers her to be his greatest creation. He also samples her newborn cries.
