Jelly Roll is thankful to Eminem for the album feature.
Eminem finally released his brand new comeback album “The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)“, and Jelly Roll was among the hidden guest appearances on the project. The Tennessee artist now reflects on his feature on the song called “Somebody Save Me”, which samples Jelly Roll’s own song “Save Me” from 2020.
“I always say my childhood hero’s lived somewhere between Willie Nelson and Eminem,” he wrote on his Instagram. “As a teenager (and still today) I could recite every song on the Slim Shady album, the Marshal Mathers album and the Eminem show. 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. So you can imagine how I felt when I got that the call that Eminem would be sampling my song “Save Me” on his new album.”
He continued: “And for him to use the song to discuss the other side of what could’ve happened if he would’ve allowed his demons to win brought me to tears. If you haven’t heard it yet , check out “Somebody Save Me” on Eminem’s new album “the death of slim shady” special shout out to Paul Rosenberg , you’ve been nothing but kind to me and treated me like family and gave me opportunities I didn’t deserve, forever grateful.” On twitter/X, he wrote: “I can’t believe I’m on Eminem’s album.”
