While A$AP Rocky's debut album LongLiveA$AP unfortunately leaked today, some vital information may have also leaked about Joey Bada$$ signing with Jay-Z's Roc Nation. During Joey's verse on the posse cut "1 Train," he raps, "Just got back to the block from a 6 o'clock with Jigga/And I'm thinking 'bout signing to the Roc/But my ni**as on the block still is signed to the rocks."

Though nothing has been confirmed, but this line does suggest that Joey and Jigga have met, and that a Roc Nation deal could be in the works. Could this be Jay-Z passing the torch to the next great Brooklyn MC? We'll have to wait and see if there is any truth behind Joey's bars.
