Jelly Roll On Going from Felon to Platinum, Eating Drugs, White Rappers, & Why He Went Country 

Jelly finally getting the spots he's deserved for so long is amazing to me it will never get old

I just got out of prison 3 weeks ago. This interview helped me get back motivated. Thank you Jelly

If you’ve never seen this man in concert and you’re a little bit of a fan go see his show. Holy shit. You’ll become obsessed. His show is off the hook.

THAT'S MY NEPHEW RIGHT THERE AND UNCLE TITO LOVES YA FAMILY AND BEYOND PROUD OF YOU. OH AND THANKS FOR THE SHOUT OUT 💯💯#BADAPPLEFAMILY #RUDEAWAKENING4LIFE

Jelly is honestly one of the kindest humblest down to earth hilarious people I can sit and listen to him for hours💯

I love this man!! Such a real dude. I have not been to a concert in 20 years but I'm going to see him on October 14th 2023.

Jelly's music helped me fight through addiction and depression 💯

The more I learn about Jelly the more I love and respect him music aside. As far as music and writing he's definitely been a role model because when I write it is Therapeutic Music from my heart ❤️

I'm not even a fan of Jelly's music but I fuckin love who he is as a person. I watch all his interviews.

Man you can say it’s country but to me it’s soul and blues mixed with southern hip hop music love jelly roll he got a song for every mood that I am in daily

Dope ass interview. Lowkey probably one of his best interviews if not his best n I've seen alot of them. He's been my favorite artist for 10yrs. Kick ass job for pulling that off Kev!!

Like a couple months before my grandmother passed she got really into jelly rolls music instantly become her favorite artist. It’s nice to see his career actually growing

Jelly is finally getting everything he deserves and I'm here for it🎉 I freaking love him ❤❤

I seen Jellyroll at the gathering of the juggalos 2012 and been bumping his music ever since. My favorite artist!!!!

This is honestly 1 of the best interview's I've seen 4a very long time,massive love bootleg kev..jelly roll love your rap and everything that you are doing with the music you are making, fckn genius of a man, 1 love from Scotland peace...

Amen, brother! Watching my oldest boys cry on the other side of that glass is what changed me. This is for everyone reading this, You can change your life for the better, You just have to try!!!

Been down with jelly since deal or no deal mixtape love seeing his growth and finally getting his chance to shine ✨️ 🙌

jelly is the most talented musician ever. who else can do than many different types and be successful. truly one of kind

I moved to Nashville in 2001. Found Haystak, Jelly, Struggle. Followed the game for a bit. And "Save Me" has brought tears so many times! That is your shit bro. It's that one.

Jelly Roll is like the ultimate hype man for EVERYONE. can’t wait to see you in concert, Dude! You’re heart is gold! Great podcast!

Man I love seeing jelly getting the recognition he deserves. I’ve been watching em since 2012 when I first saw the 10 min freestyle. Love his rap, rock even his country. I fuck with you jelly, keep it up

Anyone who hasn't listened to his therapeutic music albums, please do. You won't be disappointed

I could listen to Jelly all night long. His voice is so calming. Even talking about drugs

I am so proud of Jelly Roll. I couldn’t be more proud or he has a heart of gold. He’s amazing eyes that are just so full of pain. They can light your day. He’s got a great sense of humor. He’s got a great sense of life he does his family well and his people and there’s not a better vibe from a person than them, he is the man and I love you till the day I die I pray every day all day that he keeps his success going, and his family stays safe. That’s all I ask for is a good man and he’s making changes. Imagine of Tom Petty were live today.

Jelly you are already a legend with such a catalogue already. Comfort Zone, Mobile Home, Last Time, Captain Strange, Rain, Not Looking Back, Son of a Sinner, Save Me, Only, Savage Like, Smoking Section, Pill Poppaz, Sunday Morning, My Last Joint, Wassup, Cactus and so many others. Thank You!

This is so cool I’ve been listening to Jelly Roll for 3-4 years now and his music is just amazing and he’s so inspirational with what he says and what he says in his music!

I went to my first concert ever this year, jelly roll and shinedown. And let me tell you, it was therapeutic. I knew of jelly roll before then now we bump jelly daily. I needed that show. It was something I'll never forget. Thank you for that Jelly. You lit stl up

Jelly Roll makes real music for real people! I'm that guy from a trailer park he's talking about. I need to go see him at Red Rocks or Cheyenne frontier days since I live in Colorado. I remember when he came to Mesa Theater. He came four-wheeling in Gypsum. Real humble dude!

Rittz was on 8 months ago and still only has 16k views and I'm watching this 12 days after it dropped and it's at 64k. Keep it up jelly

Love this interview

I don't understand how this video isn't doing numbers let's fucking gooooo people 🔥🔥🔥

Man I love Jelly. Such a real, humble ass dude. His music will always be up there with my favorites. Amazing artist, amazing person!!

I was stationed at Fort Campbell in the mid 1990s and fell in love with Nashville, I found that even as a non country music fan it was MUSIC CITY not just country music even though that is the dominant genre. I plan to retire to its outskirts

I got the chills when you mentioned the possible Adele “save me” cover. Omg you got to make that happen jelly!

Im canadian from a small ass town found jelly maybe 2 years back through some of the other guys... loving it man.. i was in oshawa and some old as dude in a range rover showed up to this tire shop and he was blasting you man thought it was cool. You reach alotta places

Don’t lose your soul, Jelly Roll!!!! Love to see this new success!!! 🎉

Love it! I guess my days of bringing you to Louisville for $300 is over. Lol, way to go brother!

I remember watching the 10 min freestyle when it had under 5k views, been rockin w him ever since.. jellyroll, brabo gator, haystak .. Tennessee's best

Save me is a song that touches every Dad love it & everything you do & the song you did with your daughter love it all brother JELLYROLL

Steubenville Ohio loves jelly roll I been rocking with jelly since the 10 minute freestyle

Thank god for you man i been screamin at my speakers for many yearsclose to twenty yrs now so glad jellys made it on charts

Awesome to see this man FINALLY get paid and air time. Been a fan for over a decade!!!! Wish he toured to Fairbanks Alaska

He was super underrated as a rapper he still a legend but super underrated. Real musician doe bro go hard at whatever he do. Been grindin workin hard murderin shit for so long, bout time he gettin his flowers

U are us addicts voice..u have made me feel like I can conquer anything the ppl said I cld never do cuz im a 8x ex convict...I listen to u when I feel like giving up..thk u JELLY ROLL for being us underdogs voice 🎼🎶🎼🎶

I absolutely love, jelly, roll and bunny. They are so funny and so entertaining and everybody appreciates how real they are.‼️‼️😍😍

at about the 1 hour mark, when Jelly started belly laughing- i had the biggest smile on my face. seeing him so happy was so nice. 😊

Save Me resignates with people so much because we all have those moments where we feel lost and need saved. The whole Self Medicated album hits like that for me.

Bootleg Kev and Jelly Roll hell yeah it's going to be a good day!!!💯🔥

I love watching these cause you get to see one side of jelly roll and the other is his singing. He is a man who shows and tells like it is. From the bottom to the top with life stories. JELLY ROLL YOU ARE AMAZING ENTERTAINER. THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT MUSIC 🎶 🎵 ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥😁😁

Thank you jelly for you music it helps me everyday get thru hard time and shout out to bootleg kev for making good content keeping.me entertained

Jelly might be the best rapper that has been in that studio. I am happy for dude on his success. I just wish he coulda been famous for his Rap catalog. Salute Jelly!

Indiana loves jelly roll 💯💯💯

First time I heard jelly was that freestyle and came across him after listening to all by myself by haystak shits wild big ups bro mane

This is the first Bootleg Kev podcast that I have ever seen, and I have to say that you have charisma and I look forward to watching more of your stuff. LOVE JELLY ROLL, even at my age. I'm old enough to be your mother, guys!! I will be 60 next month in fact. My kids are your age....but I feel that I have a young heart, as I totally dig music... Period, music of all genres. Could say I'm an eccentric eclectic Wiccan chick who just loves music for the sake of the art of the musicianship and lyrical artistry. Thanks to my boyfriend, these past 4 years have been a deep dive into hip-hop and country rap, and I'm loving every minute, every note, and every word. Thank you Mr. Kev for this podcast. Mr. Jelly Roll, thank you for your music and your complete honesty when you speak. You are truly a genuine and true blue dude who I just wanna give a big mama hug for the love you give to the world with each of your songs and for the work you are doing for the youth of this world. If you had advice to give a mother who has a son who has just recently been sent to prison, what would it be? He has been sent away on a bogus situation at a time when he was doing what he was supposed to and finally getting it and staying clean and sober, doing great for the first time in decades. He was arraigned by a judge who let his certification lapse and he filed a lawsuit against the court system that screwed him over and once it was filed, the corruption in Douglas County Oregon Court System, sent him away to silence him because of our financial situation. I am disabled and trying to make it on less than 1k a month, and cannot get him a high dollar civil rights attorney to fight for all the rights they have violated. It is your music, Mr. JellyRoll, Adam Calhoun, Ryan Upchurch and Tom MacDonald that keeps me out of depression, stokes the fire inside of me to keep fighting for my son's rights. Thank you for being a part of my life. Seeing one of your performances is on my bucket list and hoping that I am around long enough to see that happen.... Please come to Oregon, the Pacific North West needs your music. Oregon is a geographical oddity and new music trends tend to fly over the southern part of the state where I live and only hits Portland, then trickles down slowly. Wish we had a venue big enough to attract you, Adam, Ryan or Tom to perform here. That would be the ultimate and would make life worth the struggle. Be well Mr. Kev, and Mr. JellyRoll. Blessed Be.

Dope interview right here, watched the whole thing.

it really does help. keep it up ❤️

Jelly Jelly Jelly!! soooo happy to see you on more and more pods and interviews. you’re doing it man, you’re really doing it. ❤️ you

Jelly Roll will be in my city right around my birthday!!! Very nice!!! Denver CO native here. Big deal to play at Red Rocks. The sound is Incredible there its mind blowing!!! We used to just go hang out on the stage and get drunk or whatever, hs kids from several schools. Some kids would bring bongo drums and guitars up with and it was amazing to listen to people just make shift jam together for the night. The sound is different and I love it up there. HE WILL LOVE IT 💖 my nephews are stagehands also so hopefully they will hook him up while hes here. They would get along so well!
