Love, Life & Loyalty is the first and only album by American hip hop musician GLC, released on October 12, 2010, on Ylimit Records. The album was mostly produced by Kanye West, but he received other production collaborations, like the producer and singer T-Pain, among The Legendary Traxster and the rest of Kanye's GOOD Music producers.

Background

The album features production by Arlo Jackson, Sean Breeze, Dae Dae, Ferrari Mike, Leonard Harris, GLC, Keezo Kane, The Legendary Traxster, T-Pain, Christian Rich, Arron Starr, Albert Sye, Kanye West, Xcel, this influenced in the album style and lyricism, who assumed alternative hip hop characteristics, added at the midwest rap style, who created a new fusion in GLC's career. In the lyricism predominated the old southern lyrical styles, over the GLC compositions and Kanye's production, and the lyricism was compared to Kanye's debut and second albums.[4] The album was announced by GLC at the beginning of the year, and was promoted with the single "Flight School". GLC also promoted his work in Kid Cudi's second album, in the track "The End", along Nicole Wray, Cudi and Chip tha Ripper. GLC helped Kanye's fifth album in the background vocals. GOOD Music officially announced the album in September.
