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 ↴
Thought I should come to see you
To find out if you needed anything
Just wondering if you need a little change
Ive been knowin' for about forever
I was thinkin' if we got together
It's just might be the truth
Perfect for me and you
Now lookey here I got something for you to hold
And I don't care who may see or who may know
Cause I want you so bad, oh girl you know I'm a treat
So I ain't takin' no for an answer
Cause I would like to see if we could
Kiss a little bit, hump a little bit
Touch a little bit, baby rub for a little bit
And I may be a little drunk but she know that I'm me
Baby cant you see I treat you good
[Chorus]
Treat you good just a little bit
Kiss you on your lips
Those spots on your hips
I wanna keep it hood, just a little

The song "Treat U Good" by Lloyd is about a man who wants to prove his love to a woman and treat her right. He first heard about her when they were having a conflict, and he decided to visit her and ask if there was anything she needed. He acknowledges that he has had feelings for her for a long time and thinks that they might be perfect together. The man even admits that he may be drunk, but he knows that he would treat her well.
Throughout the song, he emphasizes how much he wants her and how he would like to do things her current partner cannot do. He asks her if she has the time to stay and if he can offer her a better life. He understands that her situation may have some gray areas, but he does not want her to regret stepping out behind her partner.
The song's lyrics portray a man who genuinely cares about a woman and wants to give her the love and attention that she deserves. He does not force her into anything, but he respectfully presents his feelings and hopes that she reciprocates them.
