The release of Eminem’s highly anticipated album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce),” brought more than just chart-topping tracks. It brought a moment of pure fulfilment for Jelly Roll.

Having heard Jelly Roll singing alongside Eminem at the Michigan Central Station opening earlier this year, Eminem fans were not surprised to find a powerful duet with Jelly Roll on the album’s closing track, “Somebody Save Me. This emotional ballad, featuring a heavy sample of Jelly Roll’s 2023 hit “Save Me”, finds Eminem delivering a heartfelt apology to his daughters for the struggles his addiction brought to the family.

The impact transcended genres. Jelly Roll, an artist who feels a profound connection to Eminem, took to Instagram to share his experience.

I always say my childhood hero’s lived somewhere between Willie Nelson and Eminem. 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. 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.
