Yesterday, MTV reported that singer Lloyd has inked a deal with Interscope Records. Formerly an artist signed to Irv Gotti‘s Murder Inc., Lloyd spent most of his career at Universal Motown, where of recent, he began a strong association with Lil Wayne’s Young Money label.
Most notably, Lloyd had a heavy hand in 2009 hit “Bedrock” with the members of Young Money. “I love the way Interscope gets down. I love the way Jimmy [Iovine, label head] gets down. I’ve always had a good working relationship with Polow [da Don, producer]. Having that creative partner is something I wanted to have, since the very beginning, to have that one creative partner,” Lloyd told MTV.
The singer said he expects to release his first Interscope album this year, and said that his decision not to sign with Young Money had a lot to do with the fact that he would remain at Universal Motown.
