Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys welcomed their second child into the world Saturday, Dec. 27. A boy, Genesis Ali Dean, was born in the morning hours over the weekend. The producer and the singer were ecstatic about the bonus holiday gift. Genesis is the younger brother of the couple's first child, Egypt.

"The joy of joy is joy!! It's a boy," Keys wrote on Instagram. "We are so grateful!! #blessings!!"

As Vibe noted, the pair announced that they were going to have another child in the summer.

"And to make it even sweeter we've been blessed with another angel on the way!! You make me happier than I have ever known! Here's to many many more years of the best parts of life!" Beatz said around their anniversary.

In September, SB revealed that he was in the studio with DMX before yammering on about how great Kanye West is:

"Kanye West is one of one, we will never ever have him again. Let's love him while he's here. A lot of people like to speculate and a lot of people like to disrespect 'cause of his passion. He's just brave enough to do it. A lot of people go in the closet and wish they could do it. Kanye West is the best of the best. We don't ever get that twisted."

Keys dropped her fifth studio effort, Girl on Fire, in 2012. It hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 behind singles like "Brand New Me," "New Day" and "Tears Always Win."
