Lloyd was only 18 years old when he made his major mark on the music scene with the release of his 2004 debut CD, South Side, which spawned the Top 20 Ashanti collabo of the same name. In the years that followed, Lloyd has proven himself as a legitimate industry player, generating hits like 2006’s chart-topping “You” and the infectious “Get It Shawty,” which saw top two placements last year. Both hit singles were featured on his gold-selling sophomore disc, Street Love. In August 2008, Lloyd returned with his third effort, Lessons In Love, which featured the hit single, “Girls Around the World” with Lil Wayne. The irresistible laid back track which samples Eric B & Rakim’s “Paid In Full”, was co-produced by Lloyd along with his Street Love crew, Jasper Cameron & Reese. The Hype Williams-directed music video was a futuristic, sexy clip that topped the BET “106 & Park” countdown, once again solidifying Lloyd amongst the R&B elite.
