Lloyd Keeps It Clean For “Dedication To My Ex (Miss That)” Video
Mon Sep 12 2011 by Becky Bain
In what is probably a very wise move, R&B singer Lloyd released his "Dedication To My Ex (Miss That)" video featuring a cleaned-up, radio-friendly version of his extremely NSFW single. This retro, du-wop tune is clearly his bid for some Cee Lo Green-style success, and with the word "lovin'" replacing a euphemism for a part of the female anatomy (take a guess), he just might get it. Vid below. (And though Lil Wayne and Andre 3000 both appear on the track, in the clip we get Wayne Brady and a rapping cat. Yay?) More »
Beyonce’s ‘4′ Drops In Sales, But Still Tops The Charts
Wed Jul 13 2011 by Becky Bain
Beyonce's 4 dropped 63% in sales in its second week out, but let's look on the bright side - that was still enough to keep the beautiful music video bride in the top position on Billboard's Top 200. Elsewhere on the charts, Selena Gomez and her Scene climb up a spot, Lloyd's dedication to his ex lands him a Top 10 debut, and Adele isn't going anywhere. More »
Lloyd, Andre 3000 & Lil Wayne Blast A Cheating Lover In “Dedication To My Ex (Miss That)”
Wed Jun 29 2011 by Becky Bain
If Cee Lo Green can have a chart-topping song that employs the F-word right there in its retro-sounding chorus, why can't Lloyd score his own hit using a commonly used nickname for a woman's genitalia? In this similarly Mowtown-inspired Polow Da Don production, R&B singer Lloyd complains about a cheating girlfriend who took her ladybits elsewhere, while Andre 3000 throws down a verse and Lil Wayne drops in for some brief narration. NSFW lyrics vid below.

Lloyd Brings Mystikal Back Around With “Set Me Free”
Fri Mar 12 2010 by Robbie Daw
Looks like T.I. isn't the only rapper staging a return to the rap game after being incarcerated. Following a six-year stint in the slammer for sexual battery and extortion charges, Mystikal (real name: Michael Lawrence Tyler) has professionally resurfaced on "Set Me Free," a new track from fellow New Orleans artist Lloyd off DJ Smallz' mix tape Follow Me Part Two. Get a load of the cut after the jump.

Lloyd And Lil Wayne Are Drug Buddies
Wed Sep 23 2009 by Maura
The collaborations between Martian MC Lil Wayne and silky-smooth singer Lloyd have never ceased to thrill me, so when I heard the news that Weezy had added himself to Lloyd’s girls-as-drugs metaphor “Pusha” I got really excited. And the song mostly delivers, with Lloyd’s lighter-than-air voice and Wayne’s twisted rhymes meshing well enough to make me hope that their “Best Of Both Worlds” all-collabo album will eventually be a reality. Oh, also? The final mastered version punctuates the unfortunate line about Kurt Cobain with a gunshot. Yes. (Lil Wayne thankfully eschews Nirvana-frontman references in favor of talking about drugs a lot. Thank God for small favors, right?) Clip after the jump. More »
Lloyd Thinks That A Good Woman Is A Hell Of A Drug
Mon Aug 24 2009 by Maura
R & B singer Lloyd announced the release of his latest one-off single via Twitter today, and as you might expect from its title, “Pusha” engages in more than a few sexy-lady-as-very-potent-drug metaphors. Specifically the singer refers to cocaine here, the high of which is likened to flying super-high on a private plane. All pretty normal, but then the song’s romantic overtones take a turn into the, well, not so lovely. Because what, exactly, does the lyric of “Pusha” rhyme with “cocaine”? Why, “Cobain,” because the woman in question is so dynamite, she “blows [Lloyd's] brain.” Oh Lloyd. I’m a fan of your silky stylings, but I gotta be honest—likening your intended conquest to a grisly suicide might have an effect opposite from the one you want. Clip after the jump. More »
Tapemasters’ “Future Of R & B 28″ Will Bring You Joy
Mon Aug 17 2009 by Maura
Regular readers of this site know that I’m a big fan of the Future Of R&B series of mixes put forth by the mix-happy outfit Tapemasters. The set’s 28th installment hit file-sharing sites over the weekend, and it’s a pretty fantastic collection, programmed like the all-new-tracks R & B station in some alternate universe where things are a lot better than this one. It kicks off with a new track by Beyoncé—the ProToolsy ode to making whoopee “Slow Love”—and kicks into overdrive from there, with contributions by Amerie, Lloyd, Ne-Yo, and Mary J. Blige, among others. My five favorite tracks after the jump. More »
Lloyd Keeps His Calendar Open
Wed Jul 15 2009 by Maura
R & B smoothie Lloyd left Irv Gotti’s camp last month, and another song hinting at his post-The Inc direction has leaked. “Want To” was produced by the Norwegian team Stargate—the duo behind “Irreplaceable” and “Miss Independent,” among others—and it’s a super-sweet love song in which Lloyd gives the lady in his life the run of an evening’s entertainment plans. (I suspect he’d have a horse in the race between making love all night long and just sitting and talking, though.) Clip after the jump. More »
Lloyd Will No Longer Be Growing Up With Irv Gotti
Thu Jun 11 2009 by Maura
Falsetto-heavy R & B singer Lloyd is parting ways with Irv Gotti’s The Inc, saying that the partnership has “run its course” and that he wants to take more control over his career. (Although the fact that he said that he hoped Gotti would “understand his position” while discussing the breakup with AllHipHop.com makes me wonder if he’s filed his resignation letter just yet.) In conjunction with this liberation, “Night & Day,” a Jim Jonsin-produced track that I suppose is supposed to represent his artistic growth, has leaked; it’s a slinky slow burner that seems more suited to the later hours than those when the sun is out.
