Tinie Tempah Could Join Forces With Jay-Z

Tinie Tempah is set to make waves in the US with the help of Jay-Z.

Jay-Z has said that Tempah should sign to his own record label Roc Nation if he wants to make it big.

The hip-hop mogul discussed the UK's rising star during an appearance on radio station BBC 1Xtra.

"If he wants to be super successful, he should come to [Roc Nation]. I've been hearing about him," Jay-Z said.

Tempah, who recently released his debut album 'Disc-Overy', swept this year's MOBO Awards winning 'Best Newcomer' and 'Best Video' for 'Frisky'.

Tickets for his 2011 UK tour went on sale on Friday (October 15) at 9am. For more details, and to buy Tinie Tempah tickets, check out Gigwise Gig Tickets.
