*Starz debuts the worldwide premiere of the music video for the “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” theme song, “Part of the Game,” performed by 50 Cent and NLE Choppa, with background vocals from Rileyy Lanez. And Lord is it a killa!

The video, directed by 50 Cent and Eif Rivera, one of hip-hop’s most sought-after music video directors, debuted during the high-octane season finale of “Power Book II: Ghost” giving fans an exclusive look at the expanding “Power” Universe franchise. The video unveils a visual sneak peek at the very first footage from the series set to premiere Summer 2021.

A small crew pleasantly surprised neighborhood residents with a pop-up video shoot in Southside Jamaica Queens, New York, which is both where the new series is set and 50 Cent’s old neighborhood. Spotlighting the authentic ‘90s world that viewers will be taken back to in the upcoming “Power” Universe prequel series, the music video opens with 50 Cent sporting a classic ‘90s bucket hat and features numerous cars that were popular in that era.

“Power Book III: Raising Kanan” is the third installment in the expanding “Power” Universe franchise. The prequel takes viewers back to the ‘90s and the early years of the now-deceased iconic “Power” character Kanan Stark, portrayed by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson in the original series from Courtney A.
