The highly anticipated Power spinoff, Power Book II: Ghost, has finally arrived. The series serves as a direct continuation of events from the original show.
For this season, 50 Cent played a key role as executive producer by bringing Mary J. Blige onboard as a commanding matriarch figure. He also cast Clifford Smith, better known as Method Man, as a high-powered lawyer.
During the press run promoting the series, questions about a potential music collaboration surfaced. The responses suggested that such a collaboration remains a possibility.

Mary J. Blige has previously worked musically with both Method Man and 50 Cent. If new music were to come from the trio, it would mark the first official collaboration between Method Man and 50 Cent.
Blige and Method Man first teamed up in 1995 on “I’ll Be There for You / You’re All I Need to Get By.” The track served as a remix of “All I Need” from Method Man’s solo debut album, Tical.
Their collaboration earned a Grammy Award and is widely regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop songs of all time.

The two artists later reunited on the lead single “Love @ 1st Sight” from Mary J. Blige’s 2003 album Love & Life. The track aimed to recapture the chemistry they had previously showcased.
Blige and Method Man also performed the song together at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards. That same night featured a performance by 50 Cent, who delivered his verse on the remix of “Ooh!”, another single from Love & Life.
50 Cent also appeared on the album track “Let Me Be the 1.”

In 2005, Mary J. Blige released “MJB da MVP,” a cover of 50 Cent and The Game’s hit “Hate It or Love It,” from her album The Breakthrough. The track retained 50 Cent on the hook, while one version featured a new verse from The Game.
The song served as an introspective reflection on Blige’s career up to that point. She later appeared on “It’s Alright,” a track from Mobb Deep’s album Blood Money, which also featured 50 Cent.
Blige and 50 Cent last worked together on “All of Me,” a song from 50 Cent’s 2007 album Curtis.

50 Cent brought Mary J. Blige and Method Man into the Power franchise for their proven acting ability. Their strong musical chemistry, along with 50 Cent’s past experience working with Blige, also played a role.
The spinoff has generated strong positive momentum, which is reflected in early reviews and viewership. Adding a track featuring Mary J. Blige, Method Man, and 50 Cent within the show would elevate the experience even further.
