  • Today’s feature is an artist that had had a few important ingredients to future success, talent, timing, and opportunity to be whatever he wanted to be in rnb music. When the trio of Ja Rule, Ashanti and Irv Gotti linked up around the late 90s early 2000s era and had their outstanding run in urban music, leading to hit after hit. Lloyd had the unique voice, the personality, and even the hair which was so valuable when he finally cut it for the first time as a celebrity, it was actually donated to help a charitable organization. But saving the Inc is not what ended up becoming of Lloyd’s in and out and some would call disappointing career. Unlike the aforementioned Murder Inc artist, a great selling album always seemed to allude Lloyd. He’d have the hits, like "You" feat Lil Wayne, "Southside" feat Ashanti and who can forget the club smash that lit up the dance floor "Get it Shawty" over the course of 3 albums. Not to mention "Dedication to my ex" feat the allusive Andre 3000, but that never amounted to the same success in sales, having just 1 album at his peak go at least gold. 3 Reasons LLOYD Miss His Window To Stardom!

    Lloyd should've been a star in the 2000s. He had enough hits to be, but for some reason his albums didn't sell like expected.

      I think the wrong record labels and music changing from the Usher's, Bobby Valentino's and others if he came out 5 years earlier he would've been the man. But you had to be a R. Kelly carbon copy R&B thug like Chris Brown, Trey Songz was what was wave at that time. Lloyd weren't that.

      My Brother no disrespect but its up to him if he want to still pursue a career as a singer , the music business can be anything right now , its more then selling albums that man does not have to do albums , he can just rock shows and sell merchandise or since he got a fan base that like his old music he can advertise for companies on his social media , artist new and old are doing alternative things to get the bag instead of relying on the old school mafia method to get money

    Lloyd was part of that era of R&B that was stifled by the industry changing the look and sound of the genre, too. In addition to the streaming era becoming a thing. A lot of R&B was left to the wayside around the 2010s

    Hurrican Katrina also occured during this time. Lloyds family is from Louisianna and many of them had to stay with him around this time as well.

    I still love Lloyd till this day. He’s on tour, he just needs to drop another for his hard core r&b fans! Signing with murder inc initially was his biggest moment and fastest down fall. But through our hai career it felt like he was winging it, he relied on close industry connects to help him like Pollow Da Don but he was always missing that TEAM. The talent was there he just didn’t have the right promotion and marketing team. If he came out during this era with Live nation and Empire he’d do good. But I’m happy he’s independent now. I think he’s such a humble man. 😍
