New Orleans, Louisina (2004 – present)

Lloyd Polite Jr. (born January 3, 1986 in New Orleans, Louisina) is an American R&B singer and rapper signed to his own label, Young Goldie Music. First discovered at the age of 12 when in the group N-Toon with his brother, he released his debut album Southside in 2004. He has since released 2007’s Street Love and 2008’s Lessons in Love. He has also released two mixtapes, and plans to release his third one, Gangsta Grillz, sometime in 2009.

He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on January 3, 1986, to Robin Polite and Lloyd Polite Sr. His father died when he was at the age of two, and he moved with his mother and older sister Brandy to Atlanta, Georgia.

Lloyd was discovered by Joyce Irby and at the age of 14 was in the pre-teen group N-Toon, alongside younger brother Chuckie. The group won Nickelodeon’s cancelled show Double Dare 2000 against No Authority, and the group was signed to DreamWorks Records. Although two singles were released (“Ready” and “Shoulda Been My Girl”), their debut album Toon Time went unnoticed due to a lack of promotion from the label. The group eventually disbanded, and Lloyd began shopping around for a solo deal. He was soon signed to MCA Records with his first single to be “Young Girl”. Unfortunately, as MCA Records dissolved into its parent company, Geffen Records, many of the artists on its roster were let go, including Lloyd. However, using “Young Girl” as a demo, he landed a new recording contract with Irv Gotti at The Inc./Def Jam Records.
