Jelly Roll, the breakout country-rap star whose rise to fame has been anything but conventional, is now on a mission to give back in a way that’s both deeply personal and profoundly impactful. Known for his honest lyrics and gritty past, Jelly Roll — whose life was once filled with crime and heartache — is transforming his Tennessee farm into a sanctuary for the broken, a healing center for those battling addiction, incarceration, and despair.
“I was once behind bars selling drugs, now I’m building a place to help people break free from their own prisons,” Jelly Roll shared in a recent interview, reflecting on the journey that’s brought him to this transformative point. His new initiative, called Field of Grace, will serve as a refuge for addicts, former inmates, and at-risk youth, offering a mix of therapy, support, and personal healing — all within the peaceful, sprawling acres of his farm.
For Jelly Roll, this project is more than just a charitable endeavor — it’s a redemption story. The farm, which once symbolized his own struggles and mistakes, is now becoming a beacon of hope for those in need of a second chance. “The same place that saw my pain will now be where others find their peace,” Jelly Roll said. “I want to show people that no matter where you’ve been, you can always change your path.”
Field of Grace will provide a holistic approach to healing, combining therapy, outdoor activities, and creative outlets like music and art. Jelly Roll, who credits much of his own healing to his music and faith, believes that a well-rounded approach to recovery can help individuals rebuild their lives from the inside out. “Healing isn’t just about getting clean — it’s about finding your purpose, rediscovering who you are, and learning to live with grace.”
The center will serve as a safe space where people can begin to heal from the wounds of addiction, trauma, and incarceration, offering a chance to rebuild not only their lives but also their sense of dignity and hope. For Jelly Roll, it’s about creating a legacy that extends far beyond the music industry.
“I don’t need another award or another hit record,” he said. “What I want is to change lives, to show people that no matter how lost they feel, there’s always a way out. This farm, this healing center — it’s my way of giving back.”
Jelly Roll’s transformation from troubled youth to successful artist and philanthropist is a testament to the power of second chances, and his work to create Field of Grace is the next step in his personal journey of redemption. As he continues to use his platform to shine a light on the broken and forgotten, it’s clear that Jelly Roll is not only building a center for healing — he’s building a future for the lost and the broken, one person at a time.
