T-Rell has released a new song titled “Letter to Jordan” in tribute to his 13-year-old son who has Down syndrome and just beat cancer.
Released on December 16, T-Rell raps about the bravery the boy showed throughout his sickness. The song also comes with an accompanying music video directed by DJ Vince that shows the rapper supporting Jordan at basketball games, doctor visits, going on road trips and more.

“Who took cancer with a smile? My boy did/ Who’s still standing here now? My boy is/ You ain’t gangsta but I say that shit so gangsta, you’re my hero/ It’s crazy how you inspired all these people,” T-Rell raps on the song.

“I wasn’t always able to physically be there for my son when he had cancer,” T-Rell said in a statement. “I had to hit the road to cover his hospital bills because the insurance wouldn’t cover his chemo treatments. I ain’t care about a hit single, I ain’t care about cars and material things, my priority was my boy’s life.”
T-Rell made a lot of sacrifices in his career to provide for his son Jordan. The young boy beat cancer but shortly after, the family was stricken with more bad news when doctors discovered a germ cell mass/tumor on his right testicle.
T-Rell has been documenting his son’s journey back to good health on Instagram as doctors are working to shrink the tumor and remove it altogether. It’s another hard fight for the 13-year-old who T-Rell has called a warrior.
“Letter to Jordan” follows T-Rell’s “I Deserve,” which re-imagined Tank‘s hit, “Maybe I Deserve,” from his album, Force of Nature. The R&B singer invited T-Rell to perform the song on his tour and at the release event for his latest album, R&B Money, in 2022.
