It featured the top-twenty hits "You" and "Get It Shawty".

Lloyd's third album Lessons in Love, gave the singer his second top ten Billboard 200 album. Lloyd's career received an enormous boost in 2009–10 after being featured on the second single of Young Money's hit single "BedRock", gaining publicity from his presence on its guest list. On March 13, 2010, Lloyd signed to Interscope and Zone 4. His fourth album King of Hearts, was released July 5, 2011.

Can’t return back to the Minnie Riperton album I was listening to before this 😩

this official so we need to get off the best start possible

Southside >>>

Ayy, Lloyd needs to just make a whole album with Riley. Nigga ate that beat, Jesus!

Aww, s*** there’s an extended version too? It’s a wrap. This already a bedroom classic, Outro some crazy HEAT 😂

Just making classic R&B. This album might be the one tbh.

Street Love & King Of Hearts were dope albums but songs like this are another level. Tru was cool but this era already off to a better start.

King of Hearts (album) underrated

most underrated artist in R&B/Hip-Hop over the last 20 years

Lowkey streets know he's a legend
