Jelly Roll has found himself in a place where he can give back. He says he WANTS to be a giver for a very good reason. “The Jelly before the music was a scumbag, I was a horrible, horrible human. I was a less than desirable human. I think that’s why I have such a heart for service now, and to help people because I was such a “Taker” for so long. That I wanted to be a giver for the rest of my life” Adding he just wants to continue to be a voice for voiceless people.
