Check out LLoyd’s new first single “Lay It Down” for Polow Da Don’s Zone 4 Label. “Lay It Down” is set to be the lead single off Lloyd’s fourth album King of Hearts scheduled to drop early 2011. Lloyd’s thoughts on working with Polow Da Don:

“It feels good to start fresh with Polow and Interscope, making music is fun again. We took my sound to another level with “Lay It Down,” commented Lloyd. Polow adds, “This is real music, real singing, classic.”


While we wait for the album to leak drop, check out some new heat from the crooner.

DRAKE & LLOYD- “TO THE FLOOR”

Rich Boy has certainly been grinding and releasing the craziest songs with production by Polow Da Don, so you know the beats are ridiculous. And by the sound of this track “To The Floor”, Rich Boy is definitely coming back strong for his sophomore album Buried Alive, with features from Drake, Lloyd and heavy production by Polow Da Don.

STR8 TALK: FROM HOLLYWOOD TO HOLLYHOOD-CAN CIARA COME BACK?! http://str8nyc.com/2010/04/22/str8-talk-from-hollywood-to-hollyhood-can-ciara-come-back/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/04/22/str8-talk-from-hollywood-to-hollyhood-can-ciara-come-back/#comments Thu, 22 Apr 2010 12:33:06 +0000 J'More http://str8nyc.com/?p=37181 STR8 TALK: FROM HOLLYWOOD TO HOLLYHOOD-CAN CIARA COME BACK?!

Super C is back on the scene, ready to knock bitches out! With her new videos “Basic Instinct (U Got Me)” and her ultra sexy “Ride” featuring Ludacris, it seems like Ciara is fighting hard to retain her hood pass. Either she’s finally realized that she’s not cut out for Hollywood or Lloyd’s comments about her “being a Hollywood bitch” got to her…regardless Ciara is going hard! In “Basic Instinct”, we see Ciara in a new light as a rapstress spitting bars, throwing jabs at all the haters, and rocking her fitted “A” cap ready to thump bitches out the way. While in “Ride”, Ciara brings it back to her “Goodies” days with all that grinding and whining choreography and barely there outfits. We’re glad to see Ciara is back on the scene, but rather than kicking it with Hollywood socialites she should’ve been perfecting her craft and sticking with what works…

With that said, we wonder can Ciara make her way back home to Hollyhood? Is it too late? Can dynamic duo The Dream and Tricky Stewart help Ciara get her street cred back or has her hood pass been indefinitely revoked?

Will all that grindin’ and twirkin’ push record sales this time around? Or will it be CRICKETS?!

THOUGHTS?!

NEXT UP: TERRELL HOWARD http://str8nyc.com/2010/04/19/next-up-terrell-howard/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/04/19/next-up-terrell-howard/#comments Mon, 19 Apr 2010 23:18:34 +0000 J'More http://str8nyc.com/?p=36987 NEXT UP: TERRELL HOWARD

Straight out of Brooklyn…Flatbush to be exact is singer/songwriter Terrell Howard who embodies all the key elements needed to succeed in today’s grueling music industry–determination, dedication and direction. Terrell began honing his craft at an early age. He attended the Professional Performing Arts H.S. in NYC, while receiving vocal training at the prestigious Julliard. After graduating from high school, Terrell was accepted to Berklee College of Music, however he turned them down and went on to pursue his dream–signing a deal with Arista Records. Although Terrell was released from Arista, he didn’t let that deter him. Terrell went on to create his own imprint,  Hitbox Music and has worked with a slew of the music industry’s all-stars including Usher, Slim of 112, Missy Elliot, and Sean Garrett to name a few. Terrell describes his sound as being “likened to the “real singers” of R&B including, Charlie Wilson, Aaron Hall and R. Kelly, bringing back the 90s sound, while incorporating edgy lyrics.”

He’s been featured on Power 105.1′s “New NY” unsigned hype segment, “On Deck” with Jovonn “The Last Don” and not to mention he’s also got the backing of Cavi, one of the flyest contemporary menswear lines worn by some of your favorite celebrities including Jay-Z!

Check out Terrell’s hot track “Siren”…

For all our ATL readers, Terrell will be doing his thing LIVE at BMI’s “Unsigned Urban Showcase” at Havana Club tomorrow!

73233961EA067_MTV_TRL_Preseciara

Last month we broke the news of Lloyd calling Ciara a bitch, check out this video where Lloyd explains to Jenny Boom Boom why Ciara’s “phony & fake”…it all stemmed from an incident where Ciara had her people kick Lloyd and his people out of a studio session. Really?!


He’s starting this new thing now, where he’s being real…really, how ’bout being real from jump, I’m just saying.

Is Lloyd being a bit too sensitive & petty?!

Thoughts?!
