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.

But they would love it.

I've had quite a few of them already, especially rehabs. So my rule is I'm a man of faith, and my rule is real simple. What I believe of my faith would require from me and the person that I follow is that I go speak at jails, I go feed the homeless, I go hang out with the widows, and I go to the rehabs. Because that's where I think that, you know, the God I serve would want me to go.
