Rapper Jay-Z has credited a 16-year-old school girl for helping him to produce the track 'Crown' for his latest album 'Magna Carta Holy Grail.'

The 43-year-old, who has worked with a string of high profile stars including Justin Timberlake and Pharrell Williams on the songs, decided to work with talented Ebony Oshunrinde after he was given one of her tracks by his friend Travis Scott, reported Sun Online..

The school girl has only just finished 11th grade and she revealed she has received a lot of requests for working with A-list singers since appearing in the credits of the album.
 

"Its a really good feeling. I want to show young people that they can do it. Travis texted me and said, 'I'm about to change your life'. Usually, that doesn't happen to 16 year-olds. A lot more people want to work with me now. It's pretty cool," she said.

She helped produce 'Crown' on Jay-Z's latest album, which was released on July 4, and her name appears in the credits alongside Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce and Pharrell.
