Eminem sampled Jelly Roll’s “Save Me” on his latest studio album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace). Jelly Roll checked a historic item off his bucket list when notching a collaboration with Eminem on “Somebody Save Me,” which served as closer track for new album that brought tears to many fans around the world and his excitement caught attention of Lisa Ann.

Hours after the track made waves on streaming services, Jelly Roll reflected on it in an emotional post on Instagram about having the chance to contribute to one of his childhood hero’s projects. “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.” said Jelly Roll.

Then he continued: “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.” Jelly Roll added.

Nashville, Tennessee-born singer also hit X (formerly Twitter) to briefly share his emotions: “I can’t believe I’m on Eminem’s album.” He tweeted. Lisa Ann, a former adult film star, who has previously worked with Eminem on “We Made You” music video, replied: “I say the same about being in his video for “We Made You”. Check out the tweet below:
