Lloyd - Do It Again ft. Nelly

It seems like King Of Hearts just came out, but it looks like Lloyd is already making moves on his next album.  He links up with Nelly for the cheerful love song "Do It Again," which gives me a lot of the same vibes as "Cupid." Only this time, I don't picture a young boy band dancing and switching positions as they alternate solos.

The world has been in shock after learning of the unfortunate and seemingly premature death of Whitney Houston, one of the most talented vocalists to ever grace the stage. Chicago quick spitter Twista is among the first of I'm sure a long list of musicians who will pay tribute to Whitney in the coming days, as he admits how much of an impact she has had on him.
