Jelly Roll

When I go back and speak at jails, the first time I went and spoke at a jail again, I'll never forget I was leaving and I heard one guy whisper to another guy, he's like, all we got to do is be rich and famous and all our problems are solved. So the next time I went and spoke, I forgot about, I never tell them the most important part of the story.

Was that the moment from coming home to jail and deciding I was going to make the change to seeing the fruits of the change was like a decade long process. Right. You know what I mean? Like, I didn't bear fruit from that change for 10 years. I was eating shit sandwiches. You know what I mean?

I was rapping more in jail. That's how I kind of came up in hip hop. It was more of the language of the neighborhood. But I would always sing the chorus. So like Friday nights, we'd go down in the jail cell and we'd beat on the walls. And I don't know how loud this would be, but like, kind of how I'm beating on the table.

And I would go every Friday and I would tap on that window and I would tap on it for like two measures. And before I dropped the first down bass note, you know, the beat. And by the time I got through tapping for those two measures, the entire unit, 230 inmates come downstairs. Jelly's finna rap, jelly's finna rap. And I would always, yeah, I was crazy, right?

And I would sing the chorus and it was like, there would be like, we'd be free. Like it felt like we were free for the night. You know what I mean? Like everybody's standing on tables. And then I'd write these like choruses like, I'll be gone for a little while, but I can't wait to see your sexy smile. But I wasn't really singing. I was just like doing it like that. But they would love it.

They'd be like, sing the gone for a little while song. You know what I'm saying? Because it was like our thing. Amazing. That's amazing. That's when I didn't realize I had the voice. Yeah. It was so cool watching music move them people like that.
