Former Murder Inc singer Lloyd is free to wreak havoc on the charts and radio thanks to a new deal with Interscope Records !
Known best for the singles "You" and "Get It Shawty," Lloyd was close to signing a deal with Young Money/Cash Money but opted out due to Lil Wayne, Birdman, Drake and Jay Sean camp's affiliation with former distributor Universal/Motown.
'The problem is that Young Money/ Cash Money is exclusive to Universal/ Motown. As you and I know, that's where I did my last two albums," Lloyd told MTV last week. "I wasn't excited about going back. I tried to do a Young Money/ Cash Money deal through another distributor, but it couldn't be done. At the end of the day, I'm still family, though."
Kicking things off, Lloyd debuted a single titled "Set Me Free" Friday, March 12.
Featuring recently released Grammy nominated rapper, Mystikal, "Set Me Free" follows Lloyd's Young Money collaboration and chart-topping single "Bedrock".
While "Set Me Free" is currently in rotation on music related blogs, Lloyd is in no rush to release his next album.
"Signing with Interscope was just a small step," says Lloyd. "This year I'm really focused on a classic album and staying in the public eye with more guest features. I have a few surprise collaborations coming."
Since 2004, Lloyd has released three albums, including 2007's Gold-certified "Street Love". He has also worked with top Hip Hop recording stars, including Lil Wayne, Ja Rule, Rick Ross, Lil Scrappy, Young Money, Fabolous, Chamillionaire, and Ace Hood.
