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 ↴
Girl, you got my mind going outta me
Girl, I'll do it for ya
Cause there's a lock box to my heart, and you're the key
Well, look at her, and it's a fact why all the dogs chase the cat
Can't help but to want a girl like that 'cause she be the one for me (the one for me)
Every time you come around me you give me this feeling
Girl, I don't know much about it
But I'm such a curious guy
Let's give love a try
[Chorus]
So incredible
The way I feel inside
No need to try and hide it
Could it be your smile that got me feeling
So, so invincible, girl?
You're so incredible (incredible)
I know you heard it all before
But believe me when I say most of these chicks are boring
Compared to you they're not the same (same)
You're all I ever need and more
That's why I ain't playing no games
Throwing away my compass; I'm done explorin'
Girl, let's fly away, search the globe and the seven seas
Tryin' to find the joy that she brings
Love is blind, but, truly, I can see that she's the one for me (the one for me)
Every time you come around me you give me this feeling
A feeling I've never experienced
Girl, I don't know much about it
But I'm such a curious guy
Let's give love a try
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Can't stop thinking 'bout you, baby
You're on my mind like every day
When I'm alone, it hits me that we were meant to be
See, girl, no ordinary guy
Nothing more that I can say
That's why I can't let you get away
Girl, you're so fly
And only a fool would let a girl like you pass them by
You're the missing link in my life
So, baby, be mine (mine)
[Chorus x 2]
