Starz recently announced that its highly anticipated new original series, Power, will debut on Saturday, June 7th at 9 p.m. ET/PT with the release of Executive Producer Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson’s new music video for “Big Rich Town.” The single, which was created specifically for the show and will serve as the main title theme, is performed by 50 Cent and features never before seen footage from the New York based crime drama from Emmy® nominated writer Courtney Kemp Agboh. Starz also released the official key art for the series.
From
acclaimed director Eif Rivera, known for his work with 50 Cent and
G-Unit, Lil Wayne, Nikki Minaj, Kendrick Lamar, and Fat Joe, the song
the vocals of multi-Grammy
® nominee R&B singer Joe. The video was shot at various locations
in Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens, NY.
"For me
the musical component of Power is so important; I wanted to let the
music speak to the viewers as they are watching the show and being able
to create the theme
song, ‘Big Rich Town,’ was crucial as it sets the tone of the show. The
audience will also get the chance to hear additional music off my
latest album, Animal Ambition, as the theme of the album translates into events portrayed in the show,"
shares Executive Producer Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson.
Power tells the story of a visionary crime drama set in two different worlds, the glamorous New York club scene and the brutal drug trade.
James “Ghost” St. Patrick has it all: a beautiful wife, a gorgeous Manhattan penthouse, and the hottest, up-and-coming new nightclub in New York. His club, Truth, caters to the elite: the famous and infamous boldface names that run the city that never sleeps. As its success grows, so do Ghost’s plans to build an empire. However, Truth hides an ugly reality. It’s a front for Ghost’s criminal underworld; a lucrative drug network, serving only the wealthy and powerful.
As Ghost is seduced by the prospect of a legitimate life, everything precious to him becomes unknowingly threatened. Once you’re in, can you ever get out?
The cast is led by Omari Hardwick (Sparkle,
For Colored Girls, Kick Ass, “Being Mary Jane”) who is joined by Lela Loren (Snitch, “Gang Related”), Naturi Naughton (Fame, “The Client List,” “Mad Men”) and Joseph Sikora (Jack Reacher,
Safe, “Boardwalk Empire”). Hardwick stars as main character
‘James “Ghost” St. Patrick’; Loren plays ‘Angela Valdes’, an old flame
of James’s who unexpectedly reenters his life; Naughton will play ‘Tasha
St. Patrick’, wife, confidant and willing accomplice
to James and Sikora plays ‘Tommy Egan’, childhood best friend and
business partner to “Ghost.”
