Yesterday I had a chance to hang out with J. Holiday while he was making an appearance in Washington D.C for the release of his new album, Back Of My Lac which is in stores right now. While there, I spoke with him for a minute and asked him about things including one regarding those candids with Jessica White (I’m sorry J.!).
Check out this live performance he did as well as a shoutout to CL. Interview and photos after the cut…

T: So you how feeling today? Your album is finally released, you excited…nervous…
J: No. I’m excited, you know its finally here. I finally get the chance to show people what D.C can really do.
T: I was outside and your fanbase has gotten really crazy! How does that feel now? You got any wild fan stories yet?
J: Not yet, but I’m sure that after today I might (laughs)…
T: I know, I’m waiting for somebody to come down sobbing!
T: Ok so I have to ask you about this…
J: Awww!…
T: We posted some pictures…
J: (laughs)
T: of you and a Victoria Secret model. So like, whats up with that?
J: Oh nothing. She’s just a cool friend. You know, we went out and had dinner…
T: Went out and had dinner? So c’mon, are you single? You got girls mad now…
J: Yes, I’m single…ready to mingle…
T: So I know you just got off tour with Keyshia Cole. When are you starting back up on tour again.
J: I’ll be back in November with R. Kelly doing the double up tour.
T: Oh ok, that’s cool. ANd after that, what’s next for J. Holiday?
J: I don’t know, that’s going to go through December to around Christmas. I’m not sure what I’m going to get into for the new year.
T: Are you looking forward to doing anything else other than singing yet?
J: Fo sure. I’m not rushing anything you know, I got plans to broaden my career. But right now, I just want to focus on this album right now and once this is over, we’ll see what happens.
T: Ok, and what’s the next single?
J: It’s a song called “Suffocate”.
T: Did you shoot a video for it yet?
J: Naw, we’re actually shooting the video starting on the 8th & the 9th in Paris.
T: Ooooh big things, cool…
J: (laughs)

Oh yeah! Too bad I could not go to this I live close by. I got that CD thought and I am loving it!
I am going to need him to not use that 1980′s line, “single and ready to mingle.” lol
DUDE DOIN HIS THING….I KNOW HIS ALBUM GONNA BE POPPIN
Oh what about AZ we want to be put to bed too sucka!!!!! Cool Friends
He is too cute
and i love the album!
I really like him {he reminds me of an ex…. from D.C….. WOW *sigh*). I wish him well with this album.
I don’t think I will go to Wal-Mart to check him out but I will be at the album listening party here in Richmond………on second thought…….maybe not, its gonna be hoodrat central in there!!…Hell..I don’t know
It’s amazing what one song can do.
he is too hot, his album is whats up..i luv me sum j.
UGH i am so madd i didnt get to go! j holiday was only 30 min away from me, and i didnt go. damn damn damn
THAT LOOK LIKE PG PLAZE…IN THE BACKGROUND. ANYWAY, BIG UP TO J HOLIDAY…HE KNOW THE WHOLE DC GOT HIS BACK. LOVE THE ALBUM AND I WILL CONTUINUE TO SUPPORT HIM. SE STAND UP LOL
CONTINUE SORRY TYPO
GO HEAD CL GETTIN THOSE EXCLUSIVES!!! LOVE J. HOLIDAY! SHOUTS OUT TO HIM!
That’s one sexy man right there. He can get it. Oh yeah, he can seriously get it.
I can’t look at tigger without thinking about Supahead. She is off the chain, just put his ass (literally) on blast.
The album is awesome if you haven’t picked it up, you should go do that today!!!!
Tianna I’m hating lol I like him I getting that cd Fri. He seems so laid back and cool.
OH NOOOOOOOOOOO I was just in DC (S.E.) a few days ago….when was he there AND where was he exactly? crap.
I can’t hear the video…i’ll check it later.
D.C. J. Holiday representing…..I’ll buy the album when I get money on the 11th. lol
I saw him on 106th yesterday and I was not impressed..he has no personality…then again he may have been nervous
Awww, he’s sooo cute! I love him! He’s so talented, I wish the best for him ‘casue he deserves it.
’cause****
Look at Tigger w/his sweet @ss!
Son can really sing tho, sound right..good ish my dude!
lol @ #26 I seen dat dude last weekend on a flight to miami, looking a lil like suga
@ #21
I know. . . I can’t hear it either. I don’t know why though
^^^oops i meant to change my name back lol
@ 15 that was PG Plaza,
@ 21 did you go to school in Tallahassee??
Woa woa woa….Before today i thought he was so so as far as looks but he is looking nice right here. Got me smilen
me too man i wanted to see him at lotus lounge here in dc (then again he might not have actually gone u know how clubs do) but i had to write a damn paper! i def was not going to the mall though to wait in line and probably not get to even see him lol.
i can’t lie the wind was let out of my sails after those pictures of him and that model at negril in nyc lol yeah i was hatin on her a lil bit haha but regardless i just want his album to do well
maybe i will catch his fine ass some other time, he def needs to come back to DC more
THIS DUDE IS COOL. HIS ALBUM IS HOT AND I LIKE HIS WHOLE LAID BACK SWAGGER. ALTHOUGH HE SINGS WAY BETTER THAN LLOYD, I’D HAVE TO RANK BOTH OF THIER CD’S AS TWO OF THE BEST MALE R&B CD’S THIS YEAR.
He sings great live! That is so refreshing, too many of this artists rely on auto tune and all that crap. If you can sing live, then I respect you as a singer.
Thumbs up for J!
after that SUPERHEAD–sorry karine stephens*???LMBO interview i look at Tigger sooo differently…..ew
that’s what was going on?!?! i was passing through the mall yesterday and it was complete INSANITY the way all those folks were going crazy… if i wasn’t so tired getting off of work, i would have stopped too. sorry j, but still big up on the album.
he was singing to the wrong girl!
let that had been me……
THIS GUY SUCKS. He’s 2 feet tall and he can’t sing. Just my opinion…
#31 YEAH, I KNEW IT….I NEED TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO MORE OFTEN. I DONT KNOW WHAT BE GOING ON LOL. THANKS SWEETIE
he is such a cutie pie, he’s gonna be my baby daddy lmao
ohhh, love’s me some J.Holiday. But i wish his light-skinned ass will come to Greenville,SC or at least some where real close. U have fans down here to babe
SUFFOCATE!! THATS MY SONG!
He’s def, doing right by releasing that song as a single..
man!
He had the intelligence, the looks, and he can sing. I am so in love
OMG…..from looking at that first picture, I knew that he was in a Downtown Locker Room! Having to had worked there some years ago, I know how one looks like without looking at any of the signage. LOL Anyway, I wish I was up at PG Plaza that day, but that looks like it was hella crowded and that was one of the reasons that I stopped going to PG because everytime I went it was always MAD CROWDED! Also @ #18, I think the same thing when I see Tigger now or hear him on the radio…..all that keeps coming to mind is Superhead saying “blood on the sheets and his ass blown out to the white meat”….. DOUBLE UGH AND SUPER YUCKY! As for J’s next single, I CANNOT wait for ‘Suffocate’ to hit the airwaves because that is my jam!
BTW…..I am SO LOVING the natural look Tianna! I wore my hair like that most of the summer and it was so easy to just moisturize, shake and go in the morning! =)
This is a good look for my dude J.
This chick hes singing to is tryin to play all cool but you can tell he has her.
I am going to be a hater, this is just my opinion and I could be wrong in the future but… this dude sucks to me. He cannot sing and I feel like he’s trying to hard. I dont know maybe he has to grow on me.
yeak i know about the tigger thing which is why i think its fuced up what she said. Suppose shes lying…i mean she just fucked up his life and hi simage just for some publicity and that sucks. Shes gonna end up beaten up and left for dead somewhere soon.
Anyway I love J Holiday….gonna get that album. Show the new talent some love……cant sit and wait for Usher forever!
HAS THIS DUDE EVER BEEN SEEN WITHOUT A HAT???????
he probably got an alien head like dj clue.
damn dat girl lucky he got all in her face..i would have been singin wit him and touchin him..she just gon sit there and look all horny-fied
I’m SO GLad his new single is sufocate I Lov that song! I Kno Its Gonna BE A HIt!
Hey Tianna, Thanks for posting this im so jalous right now love your pic with him! Do U know exactly where he’s gonna be shoting in Paris???? I’d Love To See Him!
I Heart CL! Keep Up The Good Work
I don’t really get the appeal. He’s like 5’5 120. The only thing he could put to bed is maybe my cabbage patch doll circa 1979. Maybe you have to be younger than 25 for dude to really do it for you.
47.

————————
No you are not a hater. I totally agree. The song is nice. But for somebody to really put me to bed and talk big shit—you kind of have to weigh more than most grown ass men. On the radio I swear he said that he was like a a buck 45-what are you really putting to bed J?
awWwWw I wish his next single was Back of My Lac…I loooove that song…such a theme track for us lac ridahz
Anywayzz I Love J.Holiday he seems so sweet, I would love to meet him. I hope the R.Kelly tour tags Detroit, me and my girl will have front row seats
Tianna you cant be makin us ladies jealous like that…lol..you are soo lucky to have taken a pic with one the most finest bachelors in the music biz. And ya hair is cute by the way ma….represent for the natural(bLack)beautys.
I bet you some money the groupies will be in full force at those Decatur and Lithonia, Georgia locations… I might show up and say, “Hey I’m J. Holiday’s brother!” and get about 50 phone numbers into my sidekick. :0)
i love his music!
do you know where he will be shooting the video in paris cause i live in paris?
COME HERE NEEDS TO BE A SINGLE!!! I LOVE THAT SONG!!!
how could sombody be so f***** sexy?
