‘👀you see this TMZ is not adjusting well to my new positive energy out look and perspective. 🤷🏽♂️I wasn’t dissing P Diddy, I was simply posting @unclemurda yearly rap up. My New slogan is guys(Let’s be positive). @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi’

In anticipation for the must-see series and latest edition to the franchise STARZ executives Courtney A.

The long-awaited premiere for ‘Power Book IV: Force’ is finally here! In celebration for the must-see series and latest edition to the franchise STARZ executives Courtney A. Kemp and 50 Cent have created, Attack The Culture had the exclusive opportunity to connect with Hollywood heavyweights Kris Lofton and Isaac Keys to tease 'Power' fans about the new series.
From sharing their introductions to the ‘Power’ universe to revealing how much respect they have for their fellow co-stars and power players behind the scenes, the duo deliver some memorable thoughts on the must-see ‘Power Book’ series.
First and foremost, you may have already had this Isaac but what was your intro to the ‘Power’ universe? Was it season one when the buzz went crazy and 50 Cent started trolling on social media, what was your intro to ‘Power’?
Isaac: I think my intro was kind of like everybody else. STARZ started pumping out a show and I think the buzz started hitting. The talk was crazy about it and everybody was talking about. They were like, ‘Well, who’s this new character? With Ghost? And who is Tommy?’ It just became this energetic wave throughout the world and I jumped right on the wave and I’ve been riding it ever since.
I love the intro to your character in that first episode and just talk about even though there’s so much behind your character, I know we’ll get later on in the season, what can people expect specifically from Diamond and all that he brings to this particular new series?
Isaac: I think what you can expect from Diamond is that you’re going to get an evolution for someone who is just trying to evolve from his old ways to these new ways but he’s still in the same lifestyle that he was in before. And if anybody understands that, yes you can try to change but if you’re still doing the same thing then the change is just not going to happen and a lot of people don’t want that change to happen. So you’re going to see the evolution and the journey of him. You’re going to see the vulnerability, you’re going to see some anger, you’re going to see a lot of things. I think it’s going to be a big wave.
And a lot of love to Jenard, yo Kris, thank you so much for your time today! Love the energy, I know people have been keeping tabs on you since ‘Ballers’ - yeah, you were on ‘Empire’ as well but definitely talk about your excitement about this, posting about this on social media and 50 [Cent] reposted you talking about Rotimi and this dream come true. Just the fact that this has really happened.
Kris: I’m still in the moment where it all feels surreal. I was just talking to Joseph [Sikora] yesterday, he’s our fearless leader. He’s an even better person than he is an actor and that’s hard. I’m just so excited. I’ve been there since day one, ‘Power,’ even when I was on ‘Empire’ and they were doing the whole comparison. I was like, ‘No way. ‘Power’ is better,’ while I’m on ‘Empire.’ It’s not the same. It’s different. I was the person trying to tell people there’s this new show that nobody has heard about. ‘What network?’ It’s on STARZ. ‘What?’ It’s on STARZ. 50 Cent. Courtney Kemp. The geniuses. The mad evil geniuses have created something and I’ve just been there since day one, man, and it just means a lot to me.
And just wrapping up. Black culture. ‘Snowfall. Atlanta’ So many great Black television [series], for the both of you to be a part of something so amazing for the culture, how exciting is that for you? Last question.
Isaac: It’s always exciting to do stuff for the culture. But I also like it because I get to transcend across other cultures and it’s not just about Black culture. I’m big on it being worldwide and I think that’s exciting.
Kris: Indeed. I’m happy to be a part of the culture. I’ve always wanted to be on a show that impacts people and especially my people because now I feel like I’m able to reach out and actually touch people in a more meaningful way as opposed to being on a show and collecting a check. People actually are invested and they love you and they grow to love you as a person and as a character. So I just think it means a lot.
And like Isaac said, we’re getting diverse now. With this ‘Power’ [series] we’re going to get a lot of diversity to the universe that I think is very much so needed.
Check out the full video below to see Kris Lofton and Isaac Keyes hype up their excitement about the new series and keep it 100 about what’s to come with the latest chapter in the ‘Power’ universe nearing. ‘Power Book IV: Force’ premieres Sunday, February 6 exclusively on STARZ.

As if you really needed more motivation and hype to get excited about the latest chapter in the ‘Power’ universe unfolding, the amazing folks at STARZ come through clutch with a huge sneak peek from this Sunday’s ‘Power Book IV: Force’ premiere.
Here’s a ‘Power Book IV: Force’ sneak peek
This sneak peek paints all types of pictures for the diehard ‘Power’ fans. The show’s star Joseph Sikora’s Tommy Egan character is alive and well but finds himself in a very dicey situation. Or possibly gearing up for a super dicey situation with something to do with the almighty Flynn family.
About the Flynn Family
Fortunately for all you loyal Attack The Culture heads out there, we have an inside scoop on the Flynn family so you don’t have to ponder until this Sunday to understand what the sneak peek is referring to. Both ‘Power Book IV: Force’ stars Lili Simmons and Tommy Flanagan spoke to ATC about why Tommy might be in over his head with the Flynn family.
Lili specifically warned ‘Power’ fans about preparing to see the Flynn crew in full action.
“The Flynn Family is a force to be reckoned with, no pun intended. I think Tommy has been saying this, they’ve been around for 30 years in Chicago so they’re obviously doing something right if they’re not dead. [My character] Claudia and [fictional brother] Vic have been taught by their father, they’ve been a part of this world their whole life so they know what’s going on. Tommy Egan coming, they see him from a mile away. You better watch out.”
Flanagan didn’t bite his tongue about the leader of the Flynn family taking charge in ‘Power Book IV: Force.’
“Walter Flynn and the whole family, like Lili said, they’ve been around so you don’t get into the position without knowing a thing or two. So for Tommy to show up and try and take over, it’s not going to happen. It’s not going to happen. Good luck Tommy Egan. Welcome to f*cking Chicago, son.”
The rundown on the new ‘Power’ spin-off series
In case you’re still getting put on to what the latest ‘Power Book’ chapter is all about, we have the full rundown for you ahead of Sunday’s premiere.
“Power Book IV: Force” centers on fan-favorite character Tommy Egan, played by Joseph Sikora, after he cuts ties and puts New York in his rearview mirror for good. As Tommy leaves New York after losing Ghost, LaKeisha and the only city he's ever known, he makes a quick detour to close an old wound that’s been haunting him for decades. What was supposed to be a quick stop turns into a labyrinth of family secrets and lies Tommy thought were long buried. One step leads to another and Tommy quickly finds himself in Chicago's drug game, inserting himself between the city's two biggest crews. In a city divided by race, Tommy straddles the line, ultimately becoming the lynchpin that not only unites them - but holds the POWER to watch them crumble. As the first season unfolds at breakneck speed, Tommy uses his outsider status to his advantage, breaking all the local rules and rewriting them on his quest to become the biggest drug dealer in Chicago.
50 Cent promises 'Power Book IV: Force' is going to knock the competition out
New York rapper 50 Cent really can’t lose these days. While he won’t be the ‘face’ of ‘Power Book IV: Force,’ Curtis Jackson knows his upcoming Joseph Sikora-starring series is going to be a problem for its competition all winter ‘22.

After major teasing, STARZ has released a must-see look at the series with a jam-packed trailer. From leaving the Big Apple to opening up shop elsewhere, the plot details look solid.
50 Cent’s STARZ shows are doing extremely well
A few days ago, 50 hit up his Instagram page to share a snapshot at his series on a ‘2021 to-date Top 10 Highest Rated Scripted Cable Series Among Black Homes’ list. Needless to say, Curtis Jackson’s shows occupy the top spots.

50 Cent really is the rap game's biggest bully - and hero
New York rapper 50 Cent really deserves ample respect placed on his name. While he’s known for being the big bully folks have come to low-key love, what he’s done for the culture as a whole - like getting actor Geoffrey Owens back on the Hollywood scene - is what’s really overlooked.

The ‘Power Book II: Ghost’ sneak peek is pretty huge
All of the anticipation is mounted for the 8 PM premiere this Sunday, November 21 with “Free Will Is Never Free” set to raise the stakes even higher. The trailer has everything geared up with Tariq trying to get back to college life goals while Brayden provides an escape.

In case you need the full scoop on what all ‘Power Book II: Ghost’ has to offer up, here’s a run down on the second season.
POWER Book II: Ghost” begins its second season with Tariq St. Patrick still running from a legacy that haunts him. Forced into the choice to take the life of his professor, Jabari Reynolds, Tariq finds himself drifting further from that which he’s been fighting to protect: his family. With Tasha in witness protection, Tariq knows he must sacrifice anything to save what’s left of his family. Unable to do it alone, he turns to those wielding power and influence: Davis MacLean and his new partner, Cooper Saxe, as well as Rashad Tate. Of course, all of these options come with a steep price. So, it’s back to business with the Tejadas. But now with two murders involving Stansfield, Monet Tejada has to question if Tariq is what’s best for her family, as she seeks to protect her nephew’s NBA prospects at all costs. Her kids, Dru and Diana, question her moves as she grows more distracted, especially when Monet goes as far as trusting Cane again despite his actions against the family. In doing so, Monet finds herself in bed with Mecca, a man who wants to show her a whole new world, potentially at the cost of destroying her old one. Forcing Monet to lean on Tariq, who must decide what he really wants and what he’s going to sacrifice to get it.
