It Is What It Is

Trials and tribulations have nothing on Jelly Jells’ relentless optimism. “Life is not cruel; life is school,” he preaches on the track “It Is What It Is,” tackling some serious family issues with a bubbling concoction of reggae, hip-hop and blissful tropical harmonies. From the absence of a legit father figure, to domestic abuse and his schizophrenic mother, Jelly grew up in troubled waters, but refused to go down with the ship. Today he turns his past into a wicked dance party, refusing to dwell on the issues and instead choosing to celebrate the person who overcame them.
