Kansas Rapper T-Rell Dedicates New Song To His Cancer-Beating Son

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.

Check out the video for “Letter To Jordan” below:

“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.
