R&B's latest young sensation is Motown artist Lloyd, whose single 'You' was already in heavy rotation before he went and got Lil Weezy on the remix. Lloyd recently hosted AOL Music's Top 11 show, and while he was in the building we kicked it about celebrity couples, Bobby Brown, and the meaning of 'Street Love.'

OT: Did you hear about Kelis getting locked up in Miami ?

Lloyd: No, I did not. I don't really follow what's going on. Sometimes I'm so wrapped up in what I'm trying to prove and what I'm trying to accomplish, that I get outta touch with reality.

OT: I hear you. But the first thing that came to mind when I heard the news was poor Nas. First the drama with Carmen's book, and now his new girl has gone wild. Do you think any celeb couple can make it work?

Lloyd: Celebrity couples are hard because we're always traveling, we're always working, and everyone's trying to be the greatest. But I think any relationship can work, as long as the love is there. The hardest relationship is to try to fill someone up, and you give 80% and they only give 20%.

OT: True, but it's different you stars. Normal people have their circles, the boys or the girls, but you've got to deal with the media's all seeing eye adding to whatever doubt there may be ...

Lloyd: You know what though, as long as the trust is there and as long as it's genuine. I say believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.

OT: So, if your boo called you at 2AM from M.I.A asking for bail money, what would you do?

Lloyd: I remember my mom, whenever I got into trouble, would tell me to just sit there and think about what you did wrong. So I 'd probably let her sit in there for a day or two, then I'd go get her like, 'Baby you ok?' LOL! No, I'm just kidding. ...But hypothetically, if I got that call she'd already be out?

OT: Is it because you be on that street stuff? Like you said in your interview with SOHH.com?

Lloyd: Sometimes I do be on that street stuff, pertaining to music sir. Not pertaining to the law, or getting locked up or that kind of thing.

OT: Oh, because I was about to say, the only other entertainer who says that openly is Bobby Brown.

Lloyd: Well, I think Bobby comes from the streets. Bobby is from one of the worst neighborhoods in Massachusetts . And I think through his music, a lot of what he does has an urban feel, as far as when he girates and the response he gets from the crowd. It's almost like a black Elvis, like, I can't believe he just did that. I mean, Bobby does be on that street stuff in more than one way. But when I say I'm on that street stuff it's because I've blessed with the ability to work with a lot of predominant hip-hop artists, and make R&B music.

OT: You ever meet B. Brown?

Lloyd: Oh yeah, in Atlanta .

OT: What was that like?

Lloyd: It was definitely an experience for me, because the thing about making music is the opportunity to work with my inspirations man, the people who paved the way for young Lloyd to be here.

OT: You gonna do a remix with him?

Lloyd: LOL. You never know man, you never know.

OT: What's up with the title of the albu, 'Street Love'?

Lloyd: Street Love is a representation of the kind of music that I enjoy. I enjoy hip-hop and R&B music equally. For me to be able to do a song with Rick Ross that says I'm Hustling, living the street life, then to also do a song with myself singing about a player's prayer is like the best of both worlds. And not lot of R&B artists are capable of bridging that gap. A lot of times the hip-hop world or the streets don't really except R&B music, in a sense, and for me to be able to collaborate with these predominant hip-hop artist is street love, in a sense. I also think that the streets need love. I think that in today's game a lot of things is negative, and it's like whatever I have to say is negative towards my peers so that I can be successful, when in reality we should all inspire each other because we all come from the same trial and tribulations, the same hardships as black people. So the whole crabs in the bucket thing is not necessary. I know some of the hardest gangsters in the world, real gangsters, and they need love to.

OT: Just to make sure I've got it right, 'Street Love' could be like 'Doggystyle'?

[awkward pause]

Lloyd: But an R&B 'Doggystyle'! ... wait, you talking about the album or a position? LOL!

Watch Lloyd and Lil Wayne in the 'You' remix!
