He broke through with 'Southside' and topped the charts with 'Get It Shawty'.
For a quick sense of Lloyd, start with 'Get It Shawty' and 'You' with Lil Wayne. They frame that easy, soulful sound he's known for.
Lloyd's music carries that New Orleans blend of R&B, soul, and hip-hop into straightforward, soulful songs. 'Get It Shawty' hit number one, and tracks like 'You' with Lil Wayne kept him on radio playlists for years. His voice doesn't overdo it, which gives songs like 'Tru' a lasting, unforced quality.
He broke through in 2006 with 'Southside' and followed with the chart-topping 'Get It Shawty,' releasing his debut album the next year. Albums like Street Love and King of Hearts came later, and a 2014 video incident briefly slowed his momentum. He's worked solo but also collaborated on tracks like 'Swimming Pools' with August Alsina.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
