Third Power features a number of notable guest appearances, with artists like Gucci Mane, Young Jeezy, Fabolous, Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, Vado, Cam'ron and newcomer Jaz, checking in to support Drama on his third official release.
“It's really humbling more than anything,” DJ Drama told AllHipHop.com about the support he has received for his album and the attendance at his listening part. “I've been doing this a while now I'm just glad that I can keep moving and keep the support going on both ends, to giving love and getting love back and keeping the streets hot too.”
According to DJ Drama, the release of Third Power is significant, in that it is first major release outside of his well known Gangsta Grillz brand name.
"It's been a great beautiful gift and a small curse,” DJ Drama told AllHipHop.com about the success of Gangsta Grillz, which his seen Drama collaborate with artists like Lil Wayne, Lil Boosie, Young Jeezy, T.I. and numerous others.
“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.
