Alicia Keys' son is an incredible beatboxer. What else did you expect?

New beat for Kendrick Lamar?

When you've got Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz as parents, there's bound to be some sort of musical magic brewing inside of you.

Genesis Dean, the 2-year-old son of both musicians, was caught on the 'gram spitting a beat worthy of any rapper, and it's an adorable sight to behold.

"In the middle of #NoCommissionShanghai, Genesis wanted me to hear this new beat," Swizz wrote on Instagram.

The little one manages to keep a steady rhythm before throwing in some numbers that switch up his flow.

His older brother, Egypt, has already produced for Kendrick Lamar, so there's no telling what Genesis will be able to whip up with more time.

If he's anything like his mom, he already knows that he can do whatever he wants.
