Lloyd Sings Usher, Ashanti and Raps Lil' Wayne in a Game of Song Association | ELLE

Many of us who grew up in the 2000s were thrilled when some of our favorite acts from the aughts announced a production to sate our teenage dreams: The Millennium Tour. Lloyd - who released his debut single "Southside" in 2004 while signed to Irv Gott's The Inc. - was one of them. Although he's busy serenading us with songs like "You" and "Caramel" on a nationwide run, Lloyd took a little time to stop by ELLE.com and give Song Association a go. Watch as he plays our favorite game with songs from Ashanti, Usher, and Lil Wayne in tow.
Watch B2K and Mario play Song Association:
• B2K Sings Ashanti, Ton...
• Mario Sings Drake, Ush...
