It's been only one year since he and wife Beyonce welcomed daughter Blue Ivy into the world.
And Jay-Z is definitely ready to add to his family tree.
In an interview on Tuesday on New York City radio station HOT97
the 43-year-old was asked if he wants to have more kids with his wife
of five years -- to which he emphatically replied 'absolutely.'

'God
willing, yeah -- get a little basketball team going,' revealing that
Blue Ivy could one day play big sister to a whole bevy of younger
siblings.
The Big Pimpin'
rapper then laughed off the notion that he could be 'their agent and
their dad at the same time' -- though he did recently sign Oklahoma City
Thunder player Kevin Durant to his growing Roc Nation agency, which
along with music artists also manages sports players like NY Jets
quarterback Geno Smith and Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano.
'Exactly -- it's all a part of the elaborate plan,' he joked. 'The world would be a better place.'

The
beaming father couldn't help gushing about his youngster -- 'she's
growing by the second' -- saying that he likes to keep her by his side
as much as he can, even getting her a passport.
'She's well travelled, she travels well too. She's very cool [on planes] -- it's what she knows.'

And as to whether little Blue Ivy will be
taking any cues from her superstar parents, Jay-Z says he already
recognizes greatness.
'God willing': The 43-year-old rapper sounded hopeful that more children could be in the future
'She's very musically inclined, amazing rhythym. She's around music all the time.'
While their relationship seems perfect off-screen, the couple have been reluctant to bring their romance into the workplace.
Asked
if they would ever do a 'best of both worlds' collaborative album,
especially as Beyonce made a series of small appearances on his latest
album Magna Carta Holy Grail, Jay-Z quicky retorted: 'No way.'
But
Jay was willing to let his wife blend their careers in her
introspective HBO documentary Life Is But A Dream -- even though it was
an unsettling experience for him.
'It gave me a little anxiety but you know its something she had to do, she wanted to do.
'You
feel weird putting yourself out there in that way, especially when you
reveal so much in your music; it feels like any more [and] I'm going to
be naked out here.'
He also opened up in Thursday's interview about playing a role in the White House as a close friend of President Barack Obama.
'I've spoken to him on the phone and had texts from Obama. Of course,' the rapper said.
'Yes, that's happened, and it's amazing,' he added, after the host playfully jabbed him for sounding 'arrogant' and 'obnoxious.'

During the interview Thursday, he said the president is a 'regular guy' who speaks in sports analogies.
'I
don't know if this is, like, breaching national security,' the rapper
said, but he was like - when he was getting elected the second time - he
was like "Hey, you know, fourth quarter, just give me the ball."'
Sounding amazed at his own recollection, Jay Z recalled, 'I said "word.'"
'I want a whole team': The rapper joked he wants
to have his children form a basketball team -- even though he recently
sold his share in the Brooklyn Nets
Jay-Z
appeared at rallies with Obama during his re-election campaign,
including a Columbus, Ohio, event the night before Election Day 2012
that also included Bruce Springsteen.
And
Jay-Z and Beyonce hosted a re-election fundraiser two months earlier
that netted $4 million for Obama For America, the president's campaign
organization. Tickets cost $40,000 each.
The White House press office didn't
respond to an email asking if Obama actually sends texts to Jay-Z or
other pop-culture celebrities.
