J. Holiday – Suffocate
Upon listening to J. Holiday’s debut album, Back of My Lac, I see that he has a little something for the ladies and the thugs. He’s the new blend of street and sweet. The Capitol Records signee says that he gathers his inspiration for his album from living the street life. But although he draws from his many experiences there, he takes a step back and says: “The streets are not anything to glamorize. I’m trying to let my people back home know that I’m with them. DC has a lot of talent and I’m just trying to show people that we are here.”
But it’s obvious that with the hit single “Bed,” produced by Los Da Mystro and written by theDream, J. Holiday also draws from his experiences with the ladies. The DC native is to release his debut album on October 2nd, so make sure you check it out. Aside from the obvious “Bed,” stand out tracks include The Clutch’s “Fatal,” and his follow-up single, “Suffocate.” The major disappointment for me was the fact that J. didn’t include a few songs from his mixtape that I’d really developed a liking for.
J. Holiday – Fatal
Make sure you check out J. Holiday’s MySpace and be sure to cop his debut, Back of My Lac, which hits stores next Tuesday. Also, if you haven’t already, peep Tianna’s exclusive interview!
I like BED, hope the album is good
This song by J. is ok…. nothing spectacular.
@ #1 BEYOTCH BYE!!!! NOT BAD AT ALL J.
lol
You should listen to Pimp in me dat’s a tighttt song
I LOOOOOVVVVEEEEE this song….I love my man!
#6, so you work that fast huh? Not even in the spotlight for a strong 3 months yet and he’s already “you man”. LMAO
LOVING THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!…UMMM
J’s Cd is on point and so is Trey’s haven’t figured out which one i like better.
love this song
In fact it is on repeat with my ipod.
Im feeling it……can’t wait for the album..i think he will show up alot of these “r&b” cats with real talent.
I was thoroughly disappointed in J. Holiday’s CD. I like “Bed” and “Without You”. “Suffocate” is good but I really don’t need it. “Fatal” is my song but I don’t like his version of it. The old group IMAJIN originally recorded it and their version is waaaay better than his. The only song that I love on his cd is “Be With Me”. They should actually try to re-release that as his second single because it would be great now that he has initial exposure from “Bed”.
I give his cd 2 out of 5
Could have sworn I put in my 2 cents in already about suffocate. Wasn’t it posted b4? At any rate I like both songs. Of course I don’t see them running like Bed did. He appears to seem like he’ll have a nice chill album though.
its aight
Love it, love it, love it. Have definitely been listening to it on repeat since yesterday. My fav track is definitely “Pimp in Me”. The only thing that kinda turned me off was the cursing… but I can get through it. I will be copping the real deal next wk!
I have high expectations for J. I hope the album does well.
BEEE BEEE BEEE EEE EEE
I looooooooove his album…I love me some JHOLIDAY period…..
His sexy self need to come to Detroit and give us a concert now….
My fave song is *back of my lac*…*sittin in the back of my lac smokin my drough sippin my yak yaaay yaay* OoOoO How I can relate to that song
I really like this song but Bed is my favorite.. That’s right “J” put Dc on the map. We do have alot of talent here and they need to be reconized.. I just so happy that he is doing good keep up the good work AND COME HOME AND VISIT US (DC) We are behind you 100%….
Its official Im in love with J.Holiday! Can’t wait to his ablum drops. His voice sounds so good he could get it lol
@21
Giiiirl, u better forget him, even erase him from your memory cause HE IS MIIIIIIIINE!!! lol
I’m still not really understanding the hype.
Off topic…Angel, if you’re reading, remember the story you posted about Nailah Franklin who went missing recently? They found her body today.
I love him, he’s so sexy…Bed is my song.
its ok
this is so weird
I wanna hear the album, hope its good
#24… A body was found near the area where her abandoned car was found, but it hasn’t been identified yet. Check out the story.

J Holiday only looks good to me from the front with a hat on… I just can’t take the rat face; he’s cute, though. His songs are aiight, but he’s not bringing that fire I was expecting after hearing “Bed”; I LOVE that song. We’ll see how his career develops.
He’s from Maryland.Lol
my bad… here’s the link again

“Fatal” was produced by The Underdogs, not The Clutch.
THE ALBUM IS DECENT. IT GETS A LOT BETTER TOWARDS THE END.
IN A SENSE, ITS ALMOST 2 DIFFERENT ALBUMS..
IM NOT A FAN OF THE BEGINNING OF THE ALBUM. REALLY CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD WITH EVERY SONG BEING ABOUT DRINKING AND SMOKING…
TOWARDS THE END, THE ALBUM IS MORE OF WHAT I EXPECTED FROM HIM, LOVE AND SEX SONGS…
HIGHS FOR ME ARE
“COME HERE”, “PIMP IN ME”, AND “SUFFOCATE”
I just knew that bad was produced by Dream why is he using the same formula reminiscent of Rihanna’s Umbrella (eh eh eh) and Bed ( bed bed bed)
His album is ok he sings much better than what I thought he could
umm J. Holiday is my boo! that is all. lol
I love J Holiday…hope his album does well. Fatal gets played everyday in my car, and I play it at home all the time.
I’m definitely feeling this jam!!!!! J. Holiday is doing the darn thang…. I actually had someone in my life that I felt this way about….. UMMMM I just loved him forever
i don’t care if he’s not spectacular. i’m really feeling him and his music. i’m happy that sexy men are coming back. i’m tired of these sean kingstons
I’ll Love me some J. Holiday anytime lol love his voice, he’s a hot 1 keep um coming J.
My favorite track is “Thank You”
The album starts off slow. Then it gets good after the third song. Overall. I give it a 3.5 out of 5!
0,5/5

J.HOLIDAY VS TREY SONGZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i luvin dis song….he can suffocate me ne day!!!!!!!!!!!
“Suffocate” is the shit!
We all know how much CL loves the Clutch but “Fatal” doesn’t knock like “Suffocate”
I listened to most of his album…don’t really care for most of it.
love the song and i absolutely love j. holiday…so far the album seems great.
This ugly dude got some good songz. I can’t really hate on someone who is doing good. However, that “Fatal” song sounds a whole lot Like “Slow Dance” off Omarion’s first album.
i saw the video, hes cute
I LIKE THAT SONG, IT MAKES ME WANNA GET MY BACK BLOWN OUT LOLO
PUT YOU TO BED MAKES ME WANNA GET MY BACK BLOWN OUT.
DC ALL DAY…I’M LOVING HIS ALBUM.
