Southside is the debut studio album by American R&B recording artist Lloyd. It was released on July 20, 2004, by The Inc. Records and The Island Def Jam Music Group. The singer teamed with several of record producers such as Chink Santana, Rodney Jerkins, Irv Gotti and Jasper Cameron, among others.

The album garnered a mostly positive reception from music critics, and produced the successful top thirty Billboard Hot 100 hit, "Southside" with label-mate Ashanti and "Hey Young Girl" which failed chart or sell noticeably. Soon considered a commercial failure, it reached the top ten of U.S. Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart at number three, and number eleven on the Billboard 200,[2] selling over 67,000 copies in its first week.

## Background

[edit]

Lloyd continued to record with southern rap producers after parting ways from his group N-Toon, and going on hiatus to finish high school. The single, "Hey Young Girl" was used to be included as a demo, it landed the singer a recording contract with producer Irv Gotti. Gotti signed him to join his label The Inc. with Def Jam Records.

## Singles

[edit]

The album's lead single, "Southside", featuring label-mate Ashanti, was a success on the Billboard Hot 100 chart peaking at number twenty-four and the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs peaking at number thirteen. The second single, "Hey Young Girl" only manage peak at number sixty-one on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

## Reception

[edit]

David Jeffries of Allmusic gave the album 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "While there are no 'deep' moments on Southside, the glittery production is alive and inspired and Lloyd's cool persona never fails."[1]
