When word about Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz’s engagement got around in May 2010, it was also reported that the couple had a bun in the oven. Two months after their July 2010 nuptials, they welcomed their first child together, Egypt Dean. Egypt grew up to have a musical ear, just like his talented parents. At the age of 5, he produced the Kendrick Lamar song “Untitled 07 | 2014 – 2016” on the rapper’s 2016 album, “Untitled Unmastered.” “As parents of creative children, this is an amazing day in music,” Keys and Beatz said in a statement to Entertainment Weekly back then. “We have always encouraged Egypt to create the music he feels, and as much as he has fun with it, he works very hard and is always practicing.”
At the 2019 iHeart Music Awards, Egypt joined Keys on stage to perform a duet of her song, “Raise A Man.” His musical prowess, as it turns out, has an entrepreneurial flair to it. When he performed in front of a large crowd at Keys’ June 2022 concert in Mannheim, Germany, he got paid, as Beatz revealed on “The Jennifer Hudson Show.”
Egypt’s brother, Genesis Ali Dean, whose birth was announced in a since-deleted December 2014 Instagram post by Keys, is equally on a fast track to joining the family business. In an interview with “Today,” Keys revealed that Genesis was fascinated by stage performance and wanted to be included.
