Jason DeFord grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, in the southside community of Antioch.
Jelly Roll's 2010 collaboration "Pop Another Pill" with Memphis rapper Lil Wyte reached over 6.3 millions YouTube views. This song led to the album Year Round by the hip-hop group SNO, released on the Hypnotize Minds label in April 2011 and produced by DJ Paul and Juicy J. SNO's song "Come Here White Girl" was named among "The 10 Most Memorable White Rapper Collaborations" by XXL.
Jelly Roll released many mixtapes including the Gamblin' on a Whiteboy series and the Therapeutic Music series. His independently released debut solo studio album The Big Sal Story was released on October 26, 2012. He released two collaborative albums with Haystak, two collaborative albums with Lil Wyte, four collaborative albums with Struggle Jennings and one album under the group SNO with Lil Wyte and BPZ.
Jelly Roll's 2013 mixtape Whiskey, Weed, & Women was originally named Whiskey, Weed, & Waffle House, but was later changed after the restaurant threatened legal action over the use of their name and logo on the cover. The replacement cover featured a "cease and desist" stamp in place of the Waffle House logo.

Jelly Roll Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Its Sunday morning
And if my baby calls tell her I ain't here
Its Sunday morning
The bar is closing down again me and all my roudy friends
I think the suns comin' up again
Its Sunday morning
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Another Sunday monring another weekend worth a kickin' it
Now I'm sitting on my couch admittingly reliving it
Guess I talked it up its just part of the fast life
A strangers in my room and she looked so much better last night
The radio's loud someone turn that shit down
In my living room it looks like a fratnerty house
Man I swear to God I reget this shit every Sunday
I'm in dire need of a Tylenol and a Gatorade
My stomach huts man I know I blew a lot of cash
But I'd be lyin' if I sayin' I ain't had a blast
The weekends gone I cant believe it again
But I know on Friday I'll be drinking again
So let me light a cigarette and drink me a beer
Its Sunday morning
And if my baby calls tell her I ain't here
Its Sunday morning
The bar is closing down again me and all my roudy friends
I think the suns comin' up again
Its Sunday morning
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Its Sunday morning
Yeah, yeah
I lost my rent money
I'm about to get advicted
On top of that my fat ass wont cup next to a midget
And all I remember was us kickin' it and laughin
And then I woke up like
What the fuck happened
I swear every Sunday morning I feel like a bad guy
Theres a dude sleeping on the floor with a black eye
I lost my wallet, man, I must have left it at the bar
I've got my key but I still can't find my car
So I'm just sittin' here starin' at the cieling
Dealing with such a gut renchin' feeling
The weekends gone I can't believe it again
But I know on Friday I'll be drinkin' again
So let me light a cigarette and drink me a beer
Its Sunday morning
And if my baby calls tell her I ain't here
Its Sunday morning
The bar is closing down again me and all my roudy friends
I think the suns comin' up again
Its Sunday morning
Yeah, yeah

Jelly Roll's song "Sunday Morning" talks about the typical situation of a young man who parties hard all weekend and wakes up on Sunday morning filled with regret and pain. While he sits on his couch, he relives the night before and admits that he "talked it up," but now he has to face the consequences. He's lost his rent money, maybe his job, and can't even remember what happened to him the previous night. There's a sense of shame and despair as he looks around his messy living room, surrounded by strangers and feeling like a bad guy. However, as the song ends, he accepts that he'll be drinking again on Friday and doesn't care if his baby calls because he's not ready to give up his lifestyle yet.
The lyrics of the song highlight the self-destructive nature of addiction and the struggle to break free from it. The singer is caught in a cycle of drinking, partying, and regretting, unable to escape and find meaning in his life. The song captures the pain and addiction of the modern-day "speedball" culture, where young men and women seek temporary escape from the daily grind of life. It's a cautionary tale of the dangers of addiction and the importance of facing one's fears and struggles.
