NEWS: Paolo Nutini Is "Ready" To Record With Jay-Z

Jay-Z is reportedly keen to collaborate with the Scottish singer, but the 'Candy' hitmaker is unsure on what he needs to do to make the duet happen.

He said: "What happens next? I don’t know, I don’t know whether he just says that, ‘We’ve got to do a song and see you later’, you know, or maybe he said that because he wants to do it. If that’s the case, Jay-Z, give me a phone and I’m ready, I’m ready. I'll say to him, ‘You do the chorus vocals and I’ll do the rap and verses, you know, we’ll be good, we’ll be good'."

Last month, Jay-Z and Arctic Monkeys star Alex Turner watched Paolo's performance from the side of the stage at  Glastonbury and the 'New Shoes' singer admits it was a surreal experience.

Speaking at this weekend's Latitude festival, he told Absolute Radio: "It was like 'Zoolander', da da, you know, you’ve got the guys there. It was cool, man. Alex I’ve been lucky to meet a few times, for most young musicians he’s got to be a massive inspiration. I don’t really know why, you know, lyrically obviously, but just in general being able to be that big but keep that kind of... you know?"
