We were lucky to catch up with Jorell Jackson recently and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Jorell thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to hear the backstory behind a risk you’ve taken – whether big or small, walk us through what it was like and how it ultimately turned out.
I took a risk on life period and almost lost my life . After Covid I was knee deep in the streets and at the time I was on top . Even felt no one would try me until one day I got off work. I had someone pull up and it turned into a robbery. I cleared my balcony just to get away and because of that they ain’t get the money. I was so upset, I ended up chasing them down in my whip. And this is where the police got involved . Told me they knew who he was and all…. all I gotta do is point him out I said naaaa 12 hung up in my face and all . There’s a code in the streets no snitching but a opp ain’t gone wait to find out whether you gone snitch or not so a hit was sent by a female. Was shot in the upper arm shoulder area close range. The female thought I was dead because I couldn’t move or even tell my body was in that much shock. Once I healed I went hard with everything especially the music because a lot of people don’t make it but I did.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
Hard work and consistency is how I am where I am today . What sets me apart is I’ve seen the grim reaper I know how it feels and now I have a story to tell. I’m most proud of my fans because they’re real. No AI BOTS. I love I just keep getting better and better
