Southside

About Southside

Southside is the debut studio album by American R&B recording artist Lloyd. It was released on July 20, 2004, via The Inc. and Island Def Jam (see 2004 in music). 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 200 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, selling over 67,000 copies in its first week. more »
