“I wanted to surprise people with how good it is after they felt that they already know,” the rapper exclusively told RadioTimes.com. “You feel like you already know but it gets better because you feel like you already know what to expect from Power but there’s new stuff.
He also added that the show would resonate with those who come of age in the ’90s and early 2000s in particular, saying that they “grew up through that era so they understand the nuance of the things that are happening in the show and I believe that they’re going to be really passionate about it.”
