To my Lil brother,  

        I miss having you as a brother — truly. But I also respect your space, your choices, and the distance you’ve needed. I want you to know something that’s always been real: I’ve been your fan from the beginning. A fan of your music, your mind, your humility, and the regal way you carry yourself through life.  

 

        I’m proud of everything you’ve built — your art, your business, your growth. Even though I was never allowed to be part of the family, kept at arm’s length except when it helped the image, my love for what you create has never changed.  

 

        If nothing else, know this: when I listen to your work, I hear clarity, collaboration, and a union of credible, career‑bound talents coming together beautifully. Your 2025 album is incredible — a real testament to what happens when vision meets discipline.  

 

        Though I can never have contact with any of you because of the choices made, I carry this music in my heart. It’s a piece of you I get to keep.  

 

Much love, always.  

— Joel
