"Get It Shawty" is a song by Lloyd, and is the second single from his second album, "Street Love" (2007). Lloyd stated that he wanted to try something different with the track, to have fun and show some of his dance moves. The track was produced by James "J. Lack" Lackey, the younger brother of R&B singer Usher. Lloyd overheard the beat when he was at Usher's manager's office, and liked it so much that he begged Usher to let him have it for a song.cite news |last=Rodriguez|first=Jayson|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1549914/20070112/lloyd.jhtml|title=Inc.
