- In this video Alexis brought Jelly Roll, Son of a Sinner. This was my first time hearing of him and his music and wow! I was shocked! He has a very warm voice with power and soul.
Fresh off his big win at the CMT Music Awards this song has been gaining a whole new audience. His sound is a great blend of country, gospel and even a little reminiscent of Aaron Lewis from Staind.
Visit his channel at @JellyRoll

I love Jelly Roll he has so many great hits. Creatures featuring Tech Nine is amazing. Also Smokin Section is another fav.
Jelly can do it all! He is amazing.
Oh man you gotta show him Save Me by Jelly Roll. It will win you over in seconds. I’d also argue it’s the best show of his vocal abilities and songwriting. Good reaction though!
I will add it to Burch's list for sure! Great recommendation
He done a lot of rap before this
Yeah whiskey weed and waffle house is 1 of my favorite albums of all time and it's funny I've been listening to jelly since 2012 and now that he's doin country everyone knows him rightfully so he's a beast. His rap lyricism transfers awesome to country. Loves yalls channel been bingin today lol
Jelly roll is a songwriter and singer and rapper man is a jack of all trades
He is an amazing artist
Jelly Roll just won 3 CMT awards for this song. 😊
Alexis sent me that message. We had just done this video last week. I am very happy for him. From what I am reading in the comments, he has been grinding it out for quite a while and now to see his talent brought to a whole new audience (me included) has to be a great feeling.
Jelly Roll has been making music for a long time like 10-15 years. He used to do rap, then moved, to country rap, now country/blues/gospel. He used to deal drugs and was incarcerated for a good while. Hence his face tattoos and his gold and silver teeth. He's also recently, within the last few years going from country rap to country gained a lot of weight, but I'm sure that's because he's gained some wealth and has a very loving wife who gives him practically anything he wants. She is his queen and him her king.
What makes Jelly Roll special is because he just one of us that live with depression and bad experiences he brings it to music and we love him for it a cry it out together
I've lived a tough life too, but keep fighting everyday! Jelly is so great and helped me through many rough times...
Another one I would have never heard. I like him a lot. Great reaction.
As they said in Fury: "Best job I ever had". This is a blast to me.
Last year Jelly did a show at the prison he spent time in when he was younger. He's this generations Johnny Cash through and through
He's also done dozens of collaborations with his good friend Struggle Jennings who is actually Waylon Jennings grandson
Jelly Roll is a rapper and a country singer
Jelly been around cor a LONG time. He's also one of the best rappers out there .
I’m not a country music fan but do like Jelly Roll. Really need to react to Save Me beautiful song.
Jellyroll is a rapper, singer, artist.
We've been listening to Jelly Roll for almost 20 years. Jelly Roll is one of the most talented artists they're is. Great rapper, rock, and country singer but his best talent is probably writing the song. Much love for Jelly Roll here in Middle Tennessee and y'all should check out Struggle Jennings to. It's Waylon Jennings grandson and him and Jelly Roll have some great songs to
Love what I hear so far. I told Alexis that I want to do some of his rap work. Got a good recommendation for an introduction song for us?
@@flickeringboxofficial hate goes on or fall in the fall by jelly roll
@@dravenhitsman6538 those are great songs as well but I always loved “Glitter” that’s one of my favorite songs
I know I’m late to the party, but Sunday Morning is a great Jelly jam
He is a step-grandson to Waylon Jennings. His grandmother was Jessi Colter, but his grandfather was Duane Eddy.
You guys should do the video of him and Craig Morgan doing Craig's song "Almost Home." First of all, the song is great. Then add to it the fact that he and Craig share some information about how they met and they talk a little about Jelly Roll's past. If you decide to do it, make sure you do the one live from the Opry. You'll both like it!
Saw Jelly few years ago and one of the best I've attended. Same Asshole is another great tune along with Fall In The Fall.
Love Jelly Roll. Can’t wait to see him live this year! And his speech after he won Male Video of the Year during the CMT awards was priceless. You guys are awesome with these reaction videos! 😁
Thank you RJ
I'm addicted to Flickering Box.
Spread the word! Remember, sharing is caring 😁
Jelly Roll is not that new. He's just now gaining main stream awareness. He's very versatile. I live most of his stuff because he's so real with his lyrics. I'm loving y'all's reactions
Iam liking his music. I only ran across him about 6 months ago and his music just touches something in you. He has an extensive rap catalog and there are a few of those songs that I like, but his country songs are really a different experience. The first song I heard him sing was "Save Me" and that one stays with you.
He has a very gospel sounding voice like something you would hear in choir. I like him too and can't wait to hear more.
@@flickeringboxofficial he performed his new song "Need a Favor" at the CMT awards and he had a gospel choir backing him. The name of his new album coming out soon is "Whitsitt Chapel".
@@stacy4823 Makes so much sense! Thank you Stacy
Jelly has a great story. In and out of juvy when he was young. Now he's using his music to give back and tell his story. He just sold out the Ryman in Nashville and all the process went to a music program for that same juvy jail he was in. He made it big all in his own with just his fans making him top chart on u tube until this past year he finally signs to a label.
Everything about Jelly Roll is interesting and I think this song in particular is an amazing piece by him. You can feel the emotion in this song! I would also recommend Save Me by Jelly Roll - that’s another great one! Nice reaction!
Also his videos he's out out are amazing. His stuff with Struggle Jennings. Fall in the Fall, If These Tears Could Talk great videos.
Jelly is actually a rapper but also does country, since he signed a record label he only does country now but he was a independent artist til this past year. He's been doing music for years before this
the reason he has that flow is because he started out as a rapper and is very good at it
Jelly Roll hasn’t changed from the beginning. Remains humble and is all about helping people. Great reaction
Thank you Grizz, I like what I hear so far and if he has been in the game for a while grinding it out, those kind of artists tend to stay grounded. They know how easily things can go away and how much work it took to get to where your at. Good for him.
More Jelly PLS
Jelly Roll has been around for awhile. He’s a rapper that recently started getting famous from the country music he’s been making.
Jelly has a rough past, jail or prison time type history. Check the Opry video of him and Craig Morgan. He sings Almost Home with Craig.
I will have Alexis add that one to the list. I am really interested in hearing more from him, he is interesting.
Good song ,very well done. How about some Molly hatched " dreams i never see "
First Amish reactors.. respect 🤣
c'mon man, where's the love? Actually, now that I look at the thumbnail again.... 😮
@@flickeringboxofficial exactly! No shame. Just ran across the channel. All love here was just making a joke.
This was shot in Columbia,TN.
I'm not really sure of the name but I think it was called The Duck at the time.
I know the owner, went to school with her. Jelly his a
Cool heart. He is also from Antioch TN. Which is a part of Nashville, the bad part.
I love Jelly Roll, he is a reformed drug dealer that changed his life for his daughter. Rapping, or singing Jelly Roll makes real music for real people. Jelly Roll is one of the most humble men I have ever met, Please check out Jelly Roll "Need A Favor".
Added Need a Favor to the list, thank you Shirley.
Check out his new songs "Need a favor", "She" and of course his older track "Save me".
I think Save Me is up next Carolyn, I have to check with Alexis but that seems to be a popular recommendation
I feel his heartache personally, however both of my parents are faithful Christians, unfortunately they are not with us anymore and the way we lost them has shaken all of their son's faith and trust in humanity.
Jelly actually started out as a independent artist he only recently decided to pursue a carrer with a record label
Jelly roll started as an underground rappper and played a big role in the independent country rap scene before transitioning to fully country
How long has been around Justin, where did you first hear about him?
2012 and he got sued by Waffle House
@@flickeringboxofficial jelly has released rap albums and mixtapes for like 20 years or so going back to this street days when he was selling drugs. After having kids and serving 18 months in prison he turned his life around for his kids and the fact that he had two convictions in Tennessee which is a three strike state. He had an underground following but he really blew up when he decided to make more mature and meaningful music when he embraced the independent country rap garnered which was blowing up in the late 2010s which is when I first heard of him. He was selling thousands of tickets each show as a completely independent artist who was never played on the radio. In 2021 he signed a distribution deal with a record label and released his first mainstream country/rock album in 2021. The song “Dead Man Walking” from the album went #1 on rock radio last year and then this song went #1 on country radio. He has indicated that he’s sticking to country as he just won 3 CMT music awards the other night and has a new country album coming out in May
You guys have to do the Grand Ole Opry performance by Craig Morgan with Jelly of Almost Home. Gives a much deeper insight into both and what a difference Craig made in Jelly turning things around. ♥️
My teenage daughters were surprised to hear him on the country station. Apparently he's just now dipping his toes into country and has a back catalog of other types of music. He's got a great crossover voice
Did they listen to him as a hip hop artist? From what people have said, he has been around for a while. I like his voice, very soulful.
They didn't grow up listening to rap but came to know who he was through their circle of friends. They admit to liking his country though...although if you want my opinion as a purist I think a lot of the "new" country isn't country at all...just ask George Strait
Seeing Steph's reaction to "Take Hold of the Flame", you need to show her Queensryche "Eyes of a Stranger".
Have you ever done Stryper? Amazing vocals. Band is a Christian 80s hair band. Still rocking today and even better then ever. Try them! Good song. DO UNTO OTHERS
Do Inside Out - XYZ or When The Children Cry - White Lion or You’re All I Need - Mötley Crüe
Most of his songs are personal to him, and if not to him it’s personal to the listener. He makes what he calls therapeutic music. Hes talented in a few genres of music. Welcome to the rabbit hole 👍
He used to be a rapper, then did some time in prison and then turned his life around and when he came back to music is was in country
Jelly roll & showdown simple man together or brantley Gilbert & jelly roll son of the dirty south
Jelly Roll is great! Please react to Save Me. It's my favorite of his and I am confident you will like it! Deeply personal to me as well! Unfortunately, I am still struggling with my demons but his story is a great story of perseverance.
Should have reacted to save me. The whole video is him. Personally, I like Save Me better, but this is also a great song
Just added it to the list Lisa, thank you for the recommendation.
jr looks rough but he hits home with his songs
He was a rapper before country singer.
Birch Alexis y'all need to do a search for struggle Jennings who is sort of an adopted grandson of Wayland and jelly roll. They're careers are intertwined and they are very good friends both of them are country rappers that also sing any type of music you can think of practically. Both have been to prison for distribution possession of narcotics. Might want to try listening to save me by jelly roll the video is very good and feeling no pain video from the album "Waylon and Willie" by jelly roll and struggle Jennings.
Listen to drunk girl it’s an amazing song that speaks to everyone I know. Impossible not to love
Originally a rapper I would like to see yall do a rap song of his maybe even with struggle jennings (waylon jennings grandson) to see how versatile he is
Jelly Roll is great. His life and how he turned it around and the success he’s found is an amazingly inspirational story. Even more amazing is how humble and authentic he’s remained and gives back to the community he came from. Musically his lyrics are outstanding and he’s able to bridge country, rap, and rock in a way that is not at all gimmicky. The different types of music are just in his soul. For sure give Save Me a listen. And even maybe try some of his rap music as a country and rock fan I’m very surprised at how much I have come to like all of his music.
He started off in rap too.
Jelly roll had a hard life from losing the people he looked up to and going down a hard road of addiction, to even ending up in jail.. he sings about everything being ok and there always being a way out and he talks about the topic of addiction which a lot of artists are to scared to dip into!!! I was able to see jelly roll in concert and cried like a baby because that’s how deeply the music touches you!! He’s a big believer that just because you went down the wrong road that doesn’t mean you can’t come back better than before!!!
Do Skid Row the Wasted Time Music Video next. Play it for her full blast.
Jelly Roll songs relate to almost everyone. They are deep. He has been doing music since 84 but videos not showing up on myspace then youtube approx 12-13 years ago. Became more known 2013 when he had to rename album due to using Waffle House name in a title.
Therapeutic Music is what we call his music because it relates to us more than other music out there. It's is real, raw and truthful of what a lot of us go through. His country style can be found in earlier works in albums Addiction Kills, Waylon & Willie (with Struggle Jennings) etc. Jelly exploded more when he came out with Save Me. THank you for your reaction.
oh...and Jelly Roll is a nickname his mom gave him
Do more jelly plz lol
I also think you guys would like Kane Brown… he’s got some good ones and another guy that at first glance isn’t your stereotypical looking country singer which I think is cool.
Watch the Jelly Roll and Craig Morgan performance from the Grand Ole Opry. That will give you some of his backstory
Need a favor!!! By jelly or honestly the entire whisit chapel album is good
I think there are videos on jelly rolls life.
Check out SAVE ME also by Jelly Roll
I be agree save me
I first heard him a few years ago when he was a cameo in another video. I liked his part so I looked him up. 1st song I found of his was "When I Get Rich" . Its a rap song versus singing but its still a good song & video. You could react to that. As for another artist, I also want to request you react to the song "Hi Ren" by Ren.
One correction, he isn’t a new artist at all. He started out rapping many many years ago and has done rap songs and country songs and some with a mixture. More recently he has been doing more country :)
He was discovered by Snoop Dogg he started as a rapper
Save me next
React to jelly roll “save me”
He was a rapper
Jelly Roll did an interview with Tracy Lawrence on his podcast TL's Roadhouse. I like this song but the other stuff I've heard ain't for me. Still seems like a cool dude. Also I don't think you drink a beer around him. Lol
SAVE ME would have been a better intro to Jelly bc it has some good close ups on his face... amazing reaction tho.
Mine answers to "Echo".
This is a very good song. The cadence is a little odd but otherwise it's very much a classic country song. This could have been written by any of the greats. And there not a stupid click track in sight!
Gotta love technology :) You are correct on all 3 points. I think the next few years of Country Music will be very interesting and to see how the it responds as a whole. As Jerry once said, "whole lotta shakin goin on"
He did 9 years in prison behind an armed robbery of a drug dealer. He was also an alcoholic and an addict.
You guys need do this song SAVE Me from jelly roll
You do realize he rapped for almost 20 years before doing country
No, I had never heard of him until Alexis put his song on for this recording. We have had a lot of great comments giving us his back story. This is what makes doing these videos so fun, we get to learn about artists that we are not familiar with.
Sir or Mam, I think you guys do a wonderful job. If you want a diamond in the ruff that noone is hearing? It's called the ballad of the last knife fighter but The last knife fighter. Super unique
@@AppalachianRedRoots Just looked it up, he is an interesting looking cat. Will add it to the list.
Damn you have just opened a can of worms he’s been throw the ringer and he’s also a rapper and rock artist he’s been around for years now you have to listen to love won and fall in the fall
Try out jelly roll same asshole its very personal and deep and rap all the best great reaction
He isn’t new. Been around like 15-20 years or something
Country is in such a good place right now. Jelly, Morgan, Hardy, Ernest, Lainey. This is the best country has been since the 90's.
Speaking for my self, I am really enjoying all of these artists.
You should do Need a favor. Grab your tissues.
I love Jelly,And as a WARFIGHTER that gave up alot of my life...this song hits different for us!No jk
You can change Alexa's name so it doesn't go off so mjch. My echo answers to ziggy
On our production checklist for every show, one of our items is to unplug my soundbar for the tv because it thinks I am calling for her. Right there with ya :)
please react guns n roses rocket queen live live Tokyo 🙏🙏
On the list
@@flickeringboxofficial sorry I didn't see it
Is this her dad or are they together lol
🫡👑🙏
Did you spend so much time worried about his lok that you missed the genuis of the lyrics?
The answer would be no but more importantly is that what you took from the reaction?
Jelly is not new I have been listening for over 15 years
Great song by Jelly. Now do yourself and all of us a huge favor and do a reaction to Morgan Wade "Through Your Eyes" from OurVinyl Sessions th-cam.com/video/TawDUEgrUV8/w-d-xo.html - you could consider her the female Tyler Childers/Zach Bryan
He isn't new been rapping years
Jelly Roll tried his hand at hip hop first but it didn't really pan out. I imagine that's where the crazy name and tattoos came from
Jelly roll was extremely successful as a underground rapper
He still has a large following in hip hop
Someone else pointed out that he has been releasing albums for 20 years...wow!
His tattoos are from him being nashville GD TRIPLE G OG and his tattoos tell his story
