Lloyd Drops ‘Tru’ EP Featuring Lil Wayne and More
Yesterday (Dec. 8), Lloyd dropped “Holding” with Lil Wayne. Now, the 30-year-old singer delivers his new Tru EP in its entirety.
You can peep the tracklist and stream the project below. The five-song EP contains guest features from Rick Ross, Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz. You can also cop Tru EP via iTunes now.
“Holding” marks another terrific collaboration between Lloyd and Weezy. The four-minute long love song features a soothing instrumental, a solid hook from Lloyd and a standout verse from Tunechi.
It’s not the first time Lloyd and Wayne have linked up: the fellow New Orleans-born artists have worked together in the past on songs like “You,” “Bedrock,” “Girls Around the World,” “Pusha” and more.
Meanwhile, the track “Heavenly Body” is another must-listen from this EP. Lloyd’s melodies are the perfect complement to Rick Ross’ verse. Rozay spits, “I’m the man, I’m the man, cellphone jumping/And I’m thumbing through a hunnid grand (Hustling)/We the richest in the city/Fighting fire cases Mayweather in the building/Chicks showing me love but you’re the only one I crave/Since back in the day before Lloyd grew out his braids.”
Lloyd spoke with BET back in August about his new project. “‘TRU’ is about being a fighter. It’s about speaking truthfully and honestly on your life and not shying away from your imperfections,” Lloyd says. “It’s really about embracing the idea that there’s never failure. There is only lessons to be learned and character to be built. I wanted to shed light on that and I wanted to go towards that light and not run away from it.”
