Not many people know that Beyonce’s hubby has a thing for British bands…and people. (He’s the Godfather of Coldplay front man, Chris Martin, and Gwyneth Paltrow’s children…)

With that being said his hip-hop highness just signed indie, Brit band The Ting-Tings to his Roc Nation Record Label.

“Jay is hoping to lend his production skills to some of the new material,” dished a source. “The Staccato rhythmic style of The Ting Tings sits well with what he does best, so that was the attraction. Jay can make them one of the biggest British bands in America.”
