“With this being my third album, I didn't want to name it Gangsta Grillz, because musically. I felt like I wanted a higher meaning, so we called it Third Power."

According to DJ Drama, even though he opted to depart from the Gangsta Grillz brand-name for his third release, he has no plans on retiring the popular brand-name.

Gangsta Grillz helped me get to where I am today, so I would never retire that,” DJ Drama told AllHipHop.com.
