Born and raised in Nashville’s Antioch neighborhood, the former addict and drug dealer released Ballads of the Broken on the same day as his sold-out hometown show at the famous Ryman Auditorium. The introspective 10-track album shows Jelly Roll’s growth as an artist and man, drawing from his personal experiences to tell the story of a man who has been through the ringer and isn’t afraid to share his raw truth. The introspective 10-track album delves deeper into his current season of life and his growth—personally and sonically, marking the first time he does not rap except for a lone verse across the album. Having written each song on the album, Jelly Roll finds “a more centered emotional space,” and “takes those raw, unreserved verses and melds elements of country, rock, and hip-hop into his own signature style” (Billboard).
Outright genre-bending singer/songwriter/rapper Jelly Roll has quietly been building a remarkable career, under the radar and on his own terms. Since his days selling his mix tapes out of his car, he has constantly been releasing new music (more than 24 albums), touring relentlessly, consistently topping various iTunes charts, engaging a rabid fanbase and creating videos that have amassed a staggering billion plus views on YouTube
