First Spin
J. Holiday's 'Love' Is On 'Lockdown'
Why this is an unexpected surprise. Admittedly, I'm not the biggest J. Holiday fan, but I'm kinda sorta diggin' his spin on Kanye West's "Love Lockdown." Granted, this leak is probably a few months too late to be relevant since all of the 808 hype has died down, but it may still be a good look for Mr. Holiday because his voice is the real draw here. I hear shades of Marvin Gaye as he uses Ye's composition as the foundation but switches it up for his own purposes. Have a listen below.
