UK artist K.Koke is the latest singnee to join the Roc Nation roster. Joining the likes of Cher Lloyd (sorry minor spelling error), J Cole and Willow smith, the rapper has also managed to bag himself a joint deal between Jay's Roc Nation and Suspect Entertainment, of which Koke is a member.
K.Koke is said to be in the process of making his forthcoming mixtape, "Pure Koke Vol.2" and it is also rumoured that Tinie Temper could be the next UK artist in the firing line of Jay Z's British invasion.
And suddenly the future looks bright for the UK music scene...
It was announced on Friday during Jay Z's secret event held at The Box NYC, that New Orleans Rapper, Jay Electronica is now the latest signee to Roc Nation.
Check out some footage of the event below.
Speaking of Jay Electronica..
Apparently Diddy wasn't best pleased with Jay's decision to sign with Roc Nation and took to twitter to vent his disappointment:
Moments later the following tweet was posted by Erykah Badu ( Mother of JE's daughter):
It hasn't been confirmed whether the above tweets were in relation to Electronica's recent signing but if they were, Diddy is clearly quite cut up about it.
More importantly, does this mean we'll finally get an album, from JE?
Describing the current beef between Roc Nation affiliates, Wale and Kid Kudi as a "Let down", J Cole shared his view on the situation in an interview with DJ Funkmaster flex.
“From the outside looking it, I don’t know a lot about the situation, but it was a letdown,” Cole said. “You don’t wanna see that happen, especially with two artists who came up in the same era. But I think Wale handled it correctly, because everybody expected him to go crazy and black out with a Twitter rant.”
Briefly addressing the misconstrued beef between himself and rapper Jae Millz, Cole puts an end to the speculation that his so-called "diss" rap, during his previous radio visit to Funkmaster Flex, was directed towards Millz after the rapper made an unfavourable comment about who he thought should have made the cut for XXl Magazine's Freshmen 10' cover earlier this year.
In the interview J Cole also continues to keep his fans in suspense on his eagerly awaited debut album, stating "It could be in December; it could be in January I'm not sure."
In his own words, Cole admits "I don’t want to come out and do low numbers and just have my fans pleased. I want to reach the masses. That’s what we’re working on now.” I guess we'll have to sit and wait patiently.
