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.

The year is '88 (uh)
New Lloyd, Street Love (yeah)
All around the world, girls, all around the world
I just wanna be your man, girl
This goes out to girls all around the world (Big Reese, Jasper)
So I gotta make you understand, girl (I see you, woo)
And those stylish clothes you wear
When you walk into the room
All my partners stop and stared at you
(All around the world, girls, all around the world)
(This goes out to girls all around the world)
But they just want to use you up
(All around the world)
(This goes out to girls all around the world)
It's the tattoo on your back
And that brand new Louis bag
With the matchin' high heels
I can't help this, girl, your swag's the truth, oh baby

Okay, I'm thinkin' of a master plan
Nah, I'm lyin', shorty on my mind
Shorty like a fryin' pan
And I ain't got nothin' but sweat inside my hands
So I dig into my pocket, all my money is spent
But I don't need a cent, 'cause shorty priceless
I tell it like this, I been (all around the world)
So baby, I can take you (all around the world)
I roll up, this is a hold up
It's Young Money, man, shorty made me smile
When ain't a damn thing funny
Haha, but still don't nothin' move but the money
So baby, if I move then we move with the money
Which is my favorite dish
But if I taste you, that'll probably switch
And then we would probably switch
Now I'm walking up the street, whistling this
Can't get you off my mind (haha)
You're like my favorite song (song)
Just want to turn you on
And rock you all night long, 'cause I, oh, I

@dobryden77
This song didn't get the coverage it deserved. I remember being amazed by it back then and it's still so catchy now. Also Lloyd's hairrrrr, ugh, I can't handle all of this sexiness. I remember the first time this came out and we had only seen him in braids. I am on a total Lloyd binge, but seriously though, he is so insanely talented and deserves more recognition!
@ActionFarter
Thats because Lil Wayne ruined the song with that wack ass homage verse to Rakims song
@TSpancer80
For sure
@LaYoutuber954
What are you talking about yes it did … it was on 106 & park everyday and the radio …..
