Imagine you turn a corner and you see Jelly Roll walking up the sidewalk towards you, how do you address him?<\/p>\n
Should you call him “Jelly Roll”? Or “Gelatin”? Or how about “Mr. Roll”?<\/p>\n
Turns out, none of these are correct.<\/p>\n
Jelly was recently asked this very question.<\/p>\n
“If you know me, or you feel like you know me, you call me Jelly. I respond better to Jelly than Jelly Roll. If you say Jelly Roll, I kinda go, ‘Aw [shoot].’ But if someone says, ‘Hey Jelly!’ I think they know me. Delete the ‘Roll’ man.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So, there you have it. Jelly it is.<\/p>\n
In case you were wondering, his real name is Jason DeFord.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Imagine you turn a corner and you see Jelly Roll walking up the sidewalk towards you, how do you address him?","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":27880,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[3337],"tags":[6818],"class_list":["post-28805","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-jelly-roll"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-10 20:13:25","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/chok.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2024\/06\/what-to-call-jelly-roll-if-you-ever-meet-him\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28805","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28805"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28805\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27880"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28805"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28805"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28805"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
