Lloyd

Lloyd Polite Jr. — performing professionally as Lloyd — was born January 3, 1986, in New Orleans, Louisiana, and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, where his early group N-Toon built his vocal and performance foundation before disbanding when he was fourteen. He signed with Murder Inc. Records (an Irv Gotti imprint of Def Jam Recordings) and released his debut single 'Southside' (2004), featuring label-mate Ashanti, a collaboration made natural by the shared Murder Inc. infrastructure that concentrated Atlanta and New York R&B talent in a single commercial framework. His breakthrough arrived with the 2007 album Street Love and its lead single 'You' (featuring Lil Wayne), which reached number one on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and number nine on the Hot 100 — the collaboration connecting his smooth, melody-forward vocal style with the dominant commercial hip-hop voice of that moment in a record whose streaming presence has remained consistently active two decades after release. 'Cupid' (2007, from Street Love) sustained his commercial presence as a follow-up radio staple with a melodic hook-writing approach that translated as readily to R&B radio playlists as to club environments. Subsequent albums Lessons in Love (2008) and King of Hearts (2011) built a catalog that, combined with 'You' and 'Cupid,' positioned him among the early-2000s R&B artists whose peak-era recordings have generated renewed streaming discovery through nostalgia playlists and editorial programming. In 2019 he joined The Millennium Tour, which assembled early-2000s contemporary R&B artists whose catalog-era audiences overlap significantly with Las Vegas nightlife's nostalgia-driven programming demographic. His August 12, 2026 appearance at Hakkasan Nightclub at MGM Grand is confirmed on the official Tao Group event calendar. Guest list through NoCoverVegas covers free entry for qualifying guests.
