January Joy is the only studio album by American singer Mashonda, released only in Japan and Hong Kong[2] in November 2005 through J Records and Full Surface Records. The album features production from her then-husband Swizz Beatz, who was also a guest performer alongside Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Jadakiss, and Raphael Saadiq. It was preceded by two singles: "Back Of Da Club" and "Blackout". The album and its singles were met with commercial failure.[3]
