Jay-Z is planning to launch JLS in the States, according to reports.

The rapper and music mogul is said to have vowed to take them to the US after hearing their new single 'The Club Is Alive' at Dublin's Oxygen festival, The Mirror reports.

A source told the newspaper: "He was heard telling pals how much he digs JLS's sound and how it reminded him of a modern day Boys II Men and Jodeci. JLS's song was playing backstage a lot over the weekend and he got excited about them.

"He knows good talent when he hears it, and is not beating around the bush on getting things kick-started with them Stateside."

It was recently reported that Jay-Z had signed UK rapper Tinchy Stryder to his Roc Nation label.
