Rap mogul Jay-Z has made U.K. recording artist K Koke the newest addition to his ever-expanding Roc Nation roster.
The recent announcement makes K Koke, an up-and-coming British rapper, the newest addition to a line-up of artists on Roc Nation that also includes Willow Smith, Rihanna, J. Cole and Jay Electronica. Roc Nation, formed in 2008, is a management, music publishing, and entertainment company run by Jay-Z.
K Koke's signing comes only a week after Roc Nation's last addition, fellow British recording artist Cher Lloyd.
Koke is expected to drop his newest album, Pure Koke Volume 2, in the near future.
No further plans between Lloyd and Hova have been set in stone, but the British singer will perform a cover of Jay-Z's "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)" while performing on the U.K.'s The X-Factor.
