Jelly Roll, the giant underground genre-bending singer songwriter rapper, delivers his new album Ballads of the Broken. The introspective 10-track record 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). Being vulnerable and emotional might not be what you expect from a burly former inmate with face tattoos and piercings, but Ballads of the Broken is deeply rooted in self-reflection and pain.

Drawing from his own experiences and struggles – with relationships, substances, mental health and life in general – the project tells the story of a man who has been through the ringer, has gotten his feet back under him but knows he has a long way to go.
