J. Holiday

Capitol Records new rising star J. Holiday, whose debut album ‘Bac Of My Lac’ is already certified gold, will re-release the much-praised disc as a deluxe edition. The revamped package will boast three new songs, with "Sooner You Get To Love" as the lead, all three J. Holiday videos, and special behind-the-scenes material. J. Holiday’s road to success began last summer with the release of the smash single, “Bed,” which marked his first No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. It was also a No. 5 entry on Billboard’s Hot 100 national singles chart. Extending the ‘Holiday’ season right into 2008, the album’s second single and video “Suffocate” has burned through the Urban airplay Top 10 in the opening weeks of January to the No. 2 position. The video is also the most-played on BET this week. In recognition of his breakthrough year, J. Holiday is nominated as Outstanding New Artist in the 39th NAACP Image Awards, to be televised LIVE on February 14th, on the Fox network.
