Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of the hit Broadway musical “Hamilton,” freestyle rapped in the Rose Garden with a little help from President Barack Obama in a video posted by the White House on Monday.

Miranda, along with the Hamilton cast, went to the White House to perform for the Obamas and local students in a day devoted to the arts.

Obama told Miranda his freestyle was “serious business” and joked that he hoped he didn’t “drop these cards.”

“Drop the beat,” Obama told the drummer in the background before Miranda did his thing.

Obama wondered at the end, “Do you think that’s going viral? That’s going viral!”
