English sensation Lady Sovereign was recently courted by Def Jam's HNIC Jay-Z to join the newly formed Roc La Familia subsidiary.

Jay-Z had heard the buzz about popular London rapper Lady Sovereign and flew her out to Def Jam's NYC offices for a conference on August 11th and 12th.

"In the meetings they were joined by LA Reid and Usher," Sov's manager Zack Biddu confirmed with SOHH.com.

Jigga asked her to make an off-the-cuff performance for the heavyweights in the room, where she delivered a taste of her humorous verses. Hov was so impressed, that after an hour he offered Sov the chance to start working with some big names as soon as she was ready.

"Next stage is to start cutting some tracks in US with Missy Elliott's team," Biddu tells SOHH.com.

While Sov is busy negotiating with Def Jam, her first US single will be released by Chocolate Industries, with a remix by Ad Rock of the legendary Beastie Boys.

Lady Sovereign, who's only 18 years old and 5"1', has been making a big stir lately. She has already played shows with grime all stars, Dizee Rascal, and The Streets, as well as Shady Records' recording artists Obie Trice and D12. She also has a single coming out produced by the Basement Jaxx called "Hoodie" on November 7th.

To date Roc La Familia has signed Aztec Escobar, and Tru Life.
