Lloyd was only 18 years old when he made his major mark on the music scene with the release of his 2004 debut CD, South Side, which spawned the Top 20 Ashanti collabo of the same name. In the years that followed, Lloyd has proven himself as a legitimate industry player, generating hits like 2006’s chart-topping “You” and the infectious “Get It Shawty,” which saw top two placement last year. Both hit singles were featured on his gold-selling sophomore disc, Street Love.
In August 2008, Lloyd returned with his third effort, Lessons In Love, which featured the hit single, “Girls Around the World” with Lil Wayne. The Hype Williams-directed music video was a futuristic, sexy clip that topped the BET “106 & Park” countdown, once again solidifying Lloyd amongst the R&B elite.
In 2009, the 24-year-old Lloyd parted ways with Irv Gotti and The Inc, and recently signed a new deal with Interscope Records. Wasting no time getting started, Lloyd has already released a new single and video with a fitting title, “Set Me Free”, which co-stars fellow New Orleans native Mystikal, who returns to rap after 6 years of incarceration. The track will be featured on an upcoming independent Project/Mixtape titled Like Me: The Young Goldie Project, due out this summer. The project will also feature a host of additional tracks with appearances by Lil Wayne, Bun-B, J. Holiday, Nicki Minaj, Juelz Santana, Richboy, Tyga and others.
Lloyd has partnered with super producer and Zone Inc. CEO Polow Da Don to release his yet to be titled fourth studio album, due out later this year. The two have already begun work on the new album, laying the foundation for what is sure to be a fresh new sound for a new beginning.
Aside from his work with Polow, Lloyd has recently worked with the likes of Jim Jonsin, Cool & Dre, Bruno Mars, Rico Love and others. To that end, he spent most of 2009 and early 2010 traveling abroad, staging performances in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. Aside from his touring, and recording his personal projects, Lloyd has kept busy with several features, none bigger than the #1 smash hit “Bed Rock”, which he penned for Lil Wayne’s super group Young Money.
In addition to being a successful artist, Lloyd has also launched his own label, Young Goldie Music.
With a successful recording career, business savvyness and a connection to the community, Lloyd is one young person on which youth has clearly not been wasted.
