It has been a whirlwind year for Jelly Roll, whose journey from being a devoted fan to collaborating with Eminem and even landing on Lil Wayne’s new album is nothing short of incredible.
It is every fan’s dream to meet their hero, let alone collaborate with them, and Jelly Roll has done just that. During a year that saw him earn Grammy nominations and score a No.1 album, he teamed up with Eminem on “Somebody Save Me”, a moment that felt surreal for the Nashville artist.
This incredible connection did not stop in the studio. During his tour with Post Malone, Jelly Roll got the ultimate reward when Eminem himself showed up on stage in Detroit. This kind of genuine support and collaboration from his idol highlights the bond between the two. It has undoubtedly been a massive boost to Jelly Roll’s already soaring career.
The good news keeps coming for Jelly Roll, as he’s now secured a spot on Lil Wayne’s “Tha Carter VI” album. The track, called “Sharks”, features Lil Wayne, Big Sean, and Jelly Roll, showing just how far his reach has extended.
In a viral video that captured this moment, Jelly Roll himself summed it up best, exclaiming, “I was on Eminem and Lil Wayne’s albums in the same year. I retire. I can not do anything cooler”. While we hope he does not actually retire, it is clear this has been a landmark year.
