He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on January 3, 1986, to Robin Polite and Lloyd Polite Sr. His father died when he was at the age of two, and he moved with his mother and older sister Brandy to Atlanta, Georgia.
Lloyd was discovered by Joyce Irby in 1996 and at the age of 14 was in the pre-teen group N-Toon, alongside younger brother Chuckie. The group won Nickelodeon's cancelled show Double Dare 2000 against No Authority, and the group was signed to DreamWorks Records. Although two singles were released ("Ready" and "Shoulda Been My Girl"), their debut album Toon Time went unnoticed due to a lack of promotion from the label. The group eventually disbanded, and Lloyd began shopping around for a solo deal. He was soon signed to MCA Records with his first single to be "Young Girl". Unfortunately, as MCA Records dissolved into its parent company, Geffen Records, many of the artists on its roster were let go, including Lloyd. However, using "Young Girl" as a demo, he landed a new recording contract with Irv Gotti at The Inc./Def Jam Records.
"Southside", a duet with label mate Ashanti, became Lloyd's debut single and an R&B hit. The video was number one on BET's 106 & Park, where Lloyd and Ashanti performed the song live. The follow-up single was "Hey Young Girl", which wasn't as successful as "Southside". His childhood friend Ciara was in the video, and he is in the video of her hit "1, 2 Step". Both singles appeared on his 2004 debut album, titled Southside, which performed relatively poorly. A third single was never announced. After that, Lloyd appeared singing hooks on singles for label mate Ja Rule on "Caught Up" as well as on rapper Tango Redd's "Let's Cheat". He also made an appearance in R&B singer Sammie's video "You Should Be My Girl".
In 2006, a newly-recorded track titled "You" surfaced, featuring Lil Wayne (an alternate version featured Tango Redd). The single gained airplay on BET Late and it was #1 on 106 & Park. Lloyd's second studio album, titled Street Love, was released on March 13, 2007. The second single "Get It Shawty" was also very successful, reaching the top twenty on the pop charts. By the time the third single "Player's Prayer" was released, interest in the album had diminished. and with lack of promotion the song proved to be unsuccessful.
Lloyd's third album Lessons in Love was released in August 2008. The song "How We Do It (Around My Way)" was promoted as a single in early 2008, but only appeared on select versions of the album. "Girls Around the World" was the next single, another collaboration with Lil Wayne.
Lloyd has made guest appearances on television shows, most notably on the hit show One On One, an episode of Wild 'N Out on June 21, 2007 and on a show called Gotti's Way on VH-1. In an interview Lloyd indicated that he has about twenty tattoos, which include a picture of his father, the logo of his company Young Goldie Music and a "rebel baby angel".
2. Lloyd was a Christian modern rock/pop group who blended vocals with acoustic and electric guitars. Lloyd was formed when two original members of the rock/funk/pop group "Imagine This" teamed up with a new guitarist (who also was with I.T. for a time) and bassist to form Lloyd. The name change is necessary as Lloyd strays quite a distance from the Imagine This.

Lloyd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel like my life is a movie
Now the people callin'
But they just want to use me
I'm not down for that
I'm not down
I'm not down for that
I'm not down
Not worried about the cost
Just know that I have it
I might buy a lambo', go 100, then I crash it
Some people call me reckless
I say a tad bit
I'm not worried about money
(cause I got it now)
Ain't no stress when makin' music
(cause I got it down)
Makin' hits all day, makin' hits all day, makin' hits all day
(You'll be)
Playin' this all day, playin' this all day, playin' this all day
I'm not worried about money
(cause I got it now)
Ain't no stress when makin' music
(cause I got it down)
Makin' hits all day, makin' hits all day, makin' hits all day
(You'll be)
Playin' this all day, playin' this all day, playin' this all day
I'm not worried about the money cause I got it now
I don't pull the tag to check the price when I go shoppin' now
Cause I'm poppin' now
Y'all were hatin' on me
Bet yo' head is noddin' now
Must've been exhaustin', wow
I been makin' hits, I'll drop 'em back to back
I been gettin' money, talkin' racks on racks
I been coppin' drip, I'm wearin' black on black
Last year I was chillin', now the Mack is back
Things been workin' out
I feel like my life is a movie
Now the people callin'
But they just want to use me
I'm not down for that
I'm not down
I'm not down for that
I'm not down
I'm not worried about money
(cause I got it now)
Ain't no stress when makin' music
(cause I got it down)
Makin' hits all day, makin' hits all day, makin' hits all day
(You'll be)
Playin' this all day, playin' this all day, playin' this all day
I'm not worried about money

Makin' hits all day, makin' hits all day, makin' hits all day
(You'll be)
Playin' this all day, playin' this all day, playin' this all day
The lyrics of Lloyd's song "All In All" capture the artist's current state of success and fame. He reflects on how things have been working out well for him, comparing his life to a movie. He acknowledges that people are calling him now, but he suspects that they only want to use him for their own benefit. However, he makes it clear that he is not interested in being taken advantage of. He reiterates this sentiment by stating that he is not down for that, meaning he is not willing to participate in any manipulative or deceitful endeavors.
To emphasize his newfound success, Lloyd mentions taking a jet to avoid traffic and not worrying about the cost because he can afford it. He even goes as far as saying he might buy a Lamborghini and drive it at high speeds, even if it means crashing it. He acknowledges that some people may view him as reckless but dismisses their concerns as he believes he only takes calculated risks. Money is not a concern for him anymore, and he expresses his lack of worry regarding finances. Making music brings him joy and fulfillment, and he has mastered the art of creating hits effortlessly. He assures listeners that they will be playing his music all day.
In the second verse, Lloyd continues to boast about his success. He emphasizes that he no longer checks the price tags when shopping because he can afford whatever he wants. This showcases his newfound wealth and confidence. He acknowledges that there were people who used to hate on him in the past but suggests that they are now nodding their heads in approval, perhaps regretting their past actions. He describes the journey of his rise to fame, mentioning his back-to-back hit releases, financial success, and fashionable style. He reflects on how last year he was relatively unknown or underrated, but now he is back and better than ever.
