It’s minutes before kickoff of Atlanta United’s first home playoff match of 2018, and Atlanta R&B star Lloyd is reminiscing how his life took an unexpected Five Stripe turn this year.
“This team changed my life, seriously,” he says. “This year it didn’t matter if it was an afternoon game, evening game, middle of the week whatever, I was there.”
Lloyd may be from New Orleans, but Atlanta is the city that made him into the man he is today. He says his mom found refuge in the city when he was young, and it was listening to Atlanta giants like Goodie Mob and TLC that molded his style.
