Lloyd Harlin Polite Jr. (born January 3, 1986 in New Orleans, Louisiana) is an african American singer.
He was discovered by Joyce Irby and then made a member of the preteen group N-Toon. The group was signed to DreamWorks Records, and although two singles were released ("Ready" & "You Should Be My Girl"), their debut album "Toon Time" went unnoticed due to a lack of promotion from the label.
The group eventually disbanded, in which Lloyd began shopping around for a solo deal. He soon was signed to MCA Records with his first single to be "Hey Young Girl". Unfortunately, as MCA Records dissolved into it's parent company, Geffen Records, many of the artists on its roster were let go (including Lloyd). However, using "Hey Young Girl" as a demo, he landed a new recording contract with The Inc./Def Jam Records with Irv Gotti.
"Southside", a duet with labelmate Ashanti became his debut single and became an R&B hit. Ironically, the follow-up single was "Hey Young Girl", which wasn't as successful as "Southside". Both singles appeared on his 2004 debut album, titled "Southside". A third single was never announced.
Since then, Lloyd has appeared singing the hooks on singles for labelmate Ja Rule's "Caught Up" which was a moderate Rap hit, as well as rapper Tango Redd's "Let's Cheat". He's also made an appearance in R&B singer Sammie's video "You Should Be My Girl" with Teairra Mari.
In 2006, a newly-recorded track titled "You", featuring previous-collaborator Lil' Wayne (and an alternate version featuring Tango Redd), has surfaced, appearing on Lloyd's MySpace site. His second studio album, titled Street Love, is set for a late early March 2007 release. It's also been confirmed that Lloyd has joined Sho'nuff Records and although his contract hasn't finished with The Inc. Records, they're still pushing his single with Lil' Wayne . The single has been gaining play one BET LATE and is currently #4 on 106 & Park Bet's Top 10 Live
At this moment Lloyd is still with The Inc., his new album might be a joint venture between The Inc. & Sho Nuff under Universal Records , Lloyd has recounciled with Irv Gotti, and he's dropping a new album Street Love March 2007.
