Every nursery needs the Jay-Z lullaby album

Finally, every afternoon, infants the world over will be able to drift into a deep slumber to the soft sounds of "Big Pimpin'" and "Run This Town" thanks to the forthcoming album of Jay-Z lullabies

Finally, every afternoon, infants the world over will be able to drift into a deep slumber to the soft sounds of "Big Pimpin'" and "Run This Town" thanks to the forthcoming album of Jay-Z lullabies. Yup, Rockabye Baby! is goin' gangster, pulling from H.O.V.A.'s entire catalog to help coax babies to sleep.

Previously, Rockabye Baby! has converted the likes of Guns 'N' Roses, Nirvana, and Yeezus himself, Kanye West, for the nap-friendly format. The Jay-Z jawn drops on July 9th, but you can preview all the jams over at the Rockabye Baby! website.

I've listened a handful of tracks at my desk while writing this and, honestly, I'm losing a fight with my eyelids. Happy naptime, everyone. [h/t Spin]

If Wayne Szalinski had had such an effective and wonderful product back in 1992, large portions of downtown Las Vegas might have been spared. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go check "Make Inspired Honey, I Blew Up the Kid Reference" off of my bucket list.
