WHY LLOYD MAKES TOP 30 UNDER 30:
With unique style and talent, Lloyd quickly went from singing "Southside" to rocking crowds on hit singles like "You" and "Get It Shawty" -- all before reaching the age of 25.
In 2009, Lloyd stepped out on his own after several years of working with Irv Gotti and The Inc.
Releasing his latest single "Pusha," on his own terms, Lloyd tells Singersroom: "I feel that this time in my life is symbolic to
building bridges and opening new doors… doors that weren’t open before."
Lloyd talks Reverend Run and body art...
Keeping your mind set on music and what really matters can be hard. For Lloyd, advice given by MTV/Run DMC's Reverend Run keeps him grounded. Read on to see what Lloyd has to say about Reverend and body art.
-
Remain Open...
"
Reverend Run once said “remain open.” And he said that being
“open” throughout his career its something he’s cherished over the years
because a lot of his biggest accomplishments, sometime weren’t necessarily his
ideas. Being open, means allowing ideas to come into your life and being able to
ultimately differentiate between what’s good for you and what’s not. You should
listen to every idea and be open to at least hear a person out. I think that’s
been something that kind of stuck with me.
"
- Tats and power... "
Tatoos. You can’t buy them in a store and you can’t change
them. I can’t change them with my shirt or with my necklace. You know, I can
cut my hair off but, my tattoos will remain the same. That’s also a testament
to being comfortable in who you are and
knowing who you are. Also not regretting what you’ve become as a person.
I think that’s the coolest thing about my tats.
