-Welcome. I love you.
Thank you for coming back. -I brought some energy for you.
-I love that. You always do.
-Start it off for you. Thank you.
-How are you? How is everything? How is the family?
-Amazing. Everybody -- -How are those cute kids?
-They're so adorable. -They are.
They're really the cutest little kids.
And what are the ages now?
-3 and 7.
-Wow, man.
And they're talented, as well.
'Cause Egypt, didn't he play piano on Kendrick's album?
-He produced it.
He's produced a song for Kendrick's "Untitled" album.
That was pretty fresh. 5 years old.
-5 years old, producing. Yeah, not bad.
-Yeah, I kind of did the same thing when I was 5.
[ Laughter ]
And how is the baby? The baby is talented, too?
-The baby is so adorable.
He's actually got kind of into --
he's picked it up -- picked up something naturally.
-He's a beatboxer.
-He beatboxes.
-At 3 years old.
-He -- He -- He -- He's -- He just started doing it.
He just started kind of getting his own flow
and different words he'll do it with.
Now his latest beatbox is around the word avocado.
[ Laughter ]
[ Beatboxing ]
I don't know.
-[ Laughs ] That's good.
-He has a thing. -I have a clip.
I want to show a clip of the little baby.
Here's Genesis beatboxing.
-[ Beatboxing ]
-Hey.
Hey, one, two.
-One, two, three, four, one, two, three [Babbles]
[ Beatboxing ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
-I love him!
I want to hug him. I love him so much.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, five, seven, one, two, nine.
-Yeah, it was cool.
You know, any number is appropriate
when you're beatboxing.
-Exactly. Why not? -You know what I mean?
Oh, he's so cute!
-You got a talented family, though.
-Thanks.
I was thinking maybe
we could be, like, the new Jackson Five.
We just, like, split everybody up.
-Do you think you would form a band?
That would be great.
-Producers, bass player,
a guitar player, KJ would be the guitar player.
Egypt would be the piano player.
He'd beatbox. It would be kind of fun.
-It's all in the family because your husband
is a giant producer, Swizz Beatz.
And I heard that is Harvard going to study --
teach a course on you or something and your husband?
-They want to do a case study on he and I,
our careers and our life.
-I didn't know if that was real or not.
-I don't really -- -That's crazy.
-I don't understand it a thousand percent.
[ Laughter ]
-Did you go to Harvard?
-He went to Harvard.
And he recently graduated from Harvard Business School.
-Ah.
-Yeah!
[ Cheers and applause ]
And so they're going to do this case study on us,
which is going to be amazing.
So obviously, that's a huge part of the program
is the case studies.
And we would have our own case study.
-How crazy is that? -Is that -- Yeah.
-I love that, man. -I'm trying to figure out
where that's landing on me.
I like it.
-What are you working on? You working on new stuff?
-Yes.
New music is coming so soon. -Really?
-I'm ready to put my spell on you.
-That's what we want.
You know we want more. -Yes.
-I couldn't get enough, 'cause I know
you're on Justin's album. -Uh-huh.
-And you're fantastic on that. -Thank you.
-You're great on Eminem's album.
-Thank you. -So you are out there now.
But I was like -- -It's good vibes.
-I want -- Like --
-You're ready for mine, though.
-I want your stuff.
-Mine. -I want Alicia Keys. Yeah.
-What inspires you? You go like, "That's it.
I'm gonna write a song."
Are you getting inspired right now?
[ Laughter ]
Lie to me. [ Chuckling ] Lie to me.
-No. -You're not.
You're not inspired to write a song from this?
-Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Something's coming.
-Ready? -Something's coming.
♪♪ The paper rips ♪♪

[ Laughter ]

[ Cheers and applause ]
That's it, man!
"Hot Cocoa" is the name of the album.
You heard it here first.
"Hot Cocoa" is the name of the album.
But how do you get inspired?
Like, is it mundane things?
Do you record on your iPhone, or what do you do?
-Sometimes I definitely find myself
in the craziest situation sometimes.
Recently on this new album -- one of my favorite songs,
it happened while I was in the bathroom.
-Okay. -And --
[ Laughter ]
And that probably sounds crazy, but it was different from that.
It was, like, I was giving Genesis a bath,
and the water was running.
You know how you put the kids in the sink?
And so he was like in the sink.
And there was something happening
and the water was running
and it gave me this inspiration.
-See? -And I heard it!
I just heard it coming out of the water,
out of the bath and this bathroom.
-That's why you are who you are.
I mean, what is going on?
You write a hit song running water in a bathroom.
Oh, my gosh.
