#Starz Unveils Power Book III: Raising Kanan Music Video

Power Book III: Raising Kanan is on the horizon. 

Starz debuted the worldwide premiere of the music video for the theme song for the third series set in the Power universe.

Titled “Part of the Game,” and performed by 50 Cent and NLE Choppa, with background vocals from Rileyy Lanez.

The video, directed by 50 Cent and Eif Rivera, one of hip-hop’s most sought-after music video directors, debuted during the Power Book II: Ghost Season 1 Episode 10, giving fans an exclusive look at the expanding Power Universe franchise.
