In other news, Jelly Roll has disclosed that Eminem is one of his “childhood heroes” after their collaboration on Eminem’s new album, ‘The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)’.
On 13th July, Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, posted an appreciation message on Instagram celebrating Eminem’s 12th studio album. Jelly Roll’s 2020 song ‘Save Me’ is sampled on the album’s closing track, ‘Somebody Save Me’.
DeFord wrote: “I always say my childhood hero’s lived somewhere between Willie Nelson and Eminem. As a teenager (and still today) I could recite every song on the ‘Slim Shady’ album, the ‘Marshall Mathers’ album and ‘The Eminem Show’”.
He continued: “When I bonded out of jail at 17 years old and was sneaking into cyphers and battles in Nashville they would also play the ‘Lose Yourself’ beat when I came out on stage at the freestyle battles. I related to every word Eminem wrote. I understand him and felt like he understood me, which was rare cause I spent most of my life feeling misunderstood.”
