'Power' Will Premiere June 7 on Starz

The upcoming Starz original series Power will debut on Saturday, June 7th at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Executive Producer Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson has released a new music video for his new single, "Big Rich Town," 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.

"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.
