Product Description: some pop music. i don't know...
Amazon.com: J Holiday has some pimp in him, no doubt, and the late-disc track "Pimp In Me" isn't the only reason to think so: When this suavest of 2007's break-out crop of smooth R&B crooners isn't causing the ladies to swoon (check out "Bed," the radio hit that rides a vibe similar to Rihanna's echo-y "Umbrella" all the way behind closed doors and under the covers), he's establishing himself as a tough guy with a tender streak. It's a stroke-of-brilliance approach for a new artist--instead of becoming a standard-issue sweetie who ladles on the charm but can't do battle with urban music's big boys, he deftly straddles two styles on this debut. Silky, classic-sounding slow jams ("Suffocate," "Without You") suit him, but so do street cred-raising reminiscences of his gritty Washington, D.C., youth ("Ghetto," "Thug Commandments"). Holiday goes for broke, circling the broad R&B landscape, but he doesn't dilly-dally: Back of My 'Lac delivers pimp-worthy yet pretty songs that get straight to the point, the point being that this is an artist worth raising your modern-music hopes over. --Tammy La Gorce

this isn't a bad album, but it's not great. might need better producers or someone to write better songs.

Finally a real R&B album is released. It's been way too long. The only weak song is "Laa Laa". Other than that, I can listen to it all the way through.

The first time I remember hearing of Nahum Grymes (better known as J. Holiday) was on this stupid MIMS song called "Girlfriend's Favorite MC". He has since become the latest addition to the R&B thug era. Even so, I must admit that he does it a little better than some of the other proponents (Ray J; Pretty Ricky; The-Dream). But that still doesn't say much about his debut album Back of My Lac'.
Not to keep bringing The-Dream up so much, but I was all set to compare J. to him because they have a lot of things in common: they're both trying to be that thug, most of their songs are ridiculously raunchy, and they both refuse to give up their ages (and you can tell Dream had something to do with "Bed" because of the "ey-ey-ey" part). ...

This complact disc is AWESOME! I have enjoyed listening to this R&B CD time and time again. It has earned it's place as one of my favorites in my 6-CD Changer. I thought this was simply another Rap CD, but I was so wrong. Most of the tracks are smooth, rhythmic, and relaxing. This is a CD that can be enjoyed in many settings from relaxing, to romantic, to a nice drive enroute to anywhere. AWESOME!
