It's already been 10 years since Jelly Roll had his first major placement on Snoop Dogg's "No Limit Top Dogg" album with the song "Party With a D.P.G.", so it's safe to say that the man has paid his dues with the work he's put in over the years. But even though he has produced and sang for other major names such as Dr. Dre, Busta Rhymes, Xzibit, Redman and The Game just to name a few, Jelly Roll is not a household name (yet) and he could still be labeled as a secret weapon in the Hip-Hop industry.
This year, the Oklahoma born, Cali living artist is about to change all that as he has finished his long overdue solo debut. Jelly was blessed with an incredible talent so it's only right that he's finally getting his own shine with this new album called "Mood Swings". As the title says, the project is filled with a large diversity of moods and different sounds like I haven't heard in a long time.
In conjunction with the album release, Jelly reached out to Dubcnn to talk about the new project. In this exclusive interview, he explains his meaning behind the title and gets into the concept of the album. Jelly also talks about his track record, compares himself to other producers and speaks about staying behind the scenes. Last but not least he gives us an update on his Gain Green label imprint.
Exclusive Dubcnn Interview With Jelly Roll
Of course we also have a little "Mood Swings" sneak preview for all the Dubcnn readers out there. This one here is my personal favorite cut off the album and I'm so happy to finally let this one go as it's hands down one of the tightest joints I've heard this year. It's called "Ridin" and if you're curious to hear what the album sounds like, here's your taste! Put the top down and ride with Bigg Baby one this one! It's sunday and I'm looking good!
Jelly Roll - Ridin
Dubcnn will sell the album here through our Digital Distribution Network later this month, more on that soon.... But we're far from done! To hold you over, we got another appetizer for our readers, as Jelly Roll teamed up with New York's DJ Big Kap (Funk Flex/The Tunnel) to release a free mixtape before the actual album. "Bigg Baby The Mixtape" is filled with 26 tracks and it contains a nice little introduction to get you familiar with just some of songs that Jelly produced during the years (songs from 1 through 6) followed by unreleased and new songs from the "Mood Swings" album as well as other future projects. There's also a bonus track by Stack Bundles (R.I.P.) called "My Life is Like a Movie" that Jelly Roll produced a few years ago for the Far Rockaway, Queens rapper.

Glad to hear it heheh. I found the mixtape a bit chaotic. I'm actually kind of a Jelly Roll fan, but I guess i'm just not into the mixtape approach. Really looking forward to the album though!

Well, songs 1 through 6 are the songs he produced for others, I'm sure you're familar with them. All others are songs featuring & produced by Jelly himself, except the Stack Bundles bonus cut.

whoever produced Hard Liquor, is an idiot for letting Jelly Roll do the hook

Ridin is sooooo smooth! 8)
