Jason DeFord, better known as Jelly Roll, has scored his first number one single with “Son Of A Sinner.”

Jelly Roll grew up in Nashville, Tennessee. He is a genre-bending singer/songwriter/rapper. He has released more than 24 albums on his own over the years, selling most to fans out of his car.

The song “Song Of A Sinner” has reached the top of the Billboard Country Airplay singles chart this week.

Billboard quotes Jelly Roll as saying, “There is no greater reward for a singer and songwriter in Nashville, Tenn., than to have the No.1 song on country radio. Now imagine that happening to a guy who grew up in this town…a guy who, at every turn for the first 25 years of his life, made the wrong decision. Imagine everyone telling that guy he had no chance at country radio. If you can imagine that, then you can understand why I’m so filled with gratitude as tears stream down my face while I type this … I currently have the No. 1 song on country radio.”

Congratulations to Jelly Roll on his #1 song “Son Of A Sinner.”
