Jay-Z has signed UK singer/rapper Cher Lloyd to his Roc Nation roster, expanding upon a group that includes J. Cole, Willow Smith and Jay Electronica.
The 17-year-old was a finalist on the show X-Factor. Reports indicate that other bidders included will.I.am and Simon Cowell.
Lady Sovereign all over again…
Yeah…the little wench can sing.
well done jay, just when i was starting to regain hope in you, creating some good music with kanye, an album with him to come, sign jay elec, then for reasons unkown to anyone with ears, you sign this little talent-less whore, all the hate that is gonna come your way because of this is fully justified, you have made your mainstream sell out bed, now sleep in it.
She is diabolical, can’t wait till Jay realizes this.
If he wanted to sign a British artist, he could’ve signed Tinie Tempah! Argh! Cher Lloyd has a good unique voice, but her raps are awful…
He should’ve signed Rebecca Ferguson if he wanted someone from the X-Factor.. she had more talent.
cher lloyd is amazing she is going to be the next big thing in the rap game she keeps it hardcore and gangsta
there are a lot of dumb comments on here but this one is up there with the worst of them… cher lloyd keeps it hardcore and gangsta! hmmmmm

ROC NATION BITCH!
You have no idea…she wack!!!! youtube her
wow real hiphop is backing with the ROC. Thanks Jay for another disappointment
dumb move !! she sucked ass on tv.
This girl was decent at best, but if she becomes the next kesha I wouldn’t be surprised.
Man I love Jay-Z but it’s all about G.O.O.D. music!
UK artists Jigga and Americans should check for, Asaviour, C-Mone, Sonny Jim, Jack Flash, Jehst, Joker Starr, Jyager, Kashmere, Klashnekoff, Lewis Parker, M9, Verb T, Micall Parknsun, Ramson Badbonez, Sir Smurf Lil, Task Force or Yungun. All dope emcees, but like their US subterranean counterparts, they remain ignored by the massive. So they won’t appeal to teenagers or attenuated top of the pop rap fans, but anyone with a predilection for real hip-hop like DJ Muggs, Premo, Necro or MF Doom will be satsified.
I said Cher Lloyd reminded me of Lady Soverign during X Factor and she was also (briefly) signed to Jay-Z’s Def Jam. I can’t see American audiences buying her music, frankly. Seeing as at least 10% of any money she makes will go to Simon Cowell, irrespective of what label she goes to, she won’t make a cent from the one album she might get out before her 5 minutes of fame are over.
Americans should check for Rodney P or Klashnekoff if they think Cher Lloyd represents what UK hip-hop is actually like!
Watch Jay-Z try n turn her into some satanic bitch like he did with Rihanna.. And how Lady Sovereign, when she went on big brother in UK she was wearin the illuminati pyramid all seeing eye chain everywhere she went.. Fuck Jay-Z!
