Kicking things off is none other than 50 Cent, who makes a surprising return to the music scene—not to engage in his ongoing feud with T.I., but to provide the theme song for the upcoming prequel of his hit series, Power.

On the other side of the diss track spectrum, T.I. responds with “Trauma Bond,” a track that continues the back-and-forth with 50 Cent. In this assertive anthem, T.I. emphasizes the importance of family while taking subtle shots at his rival, stating, “Integrity is priceless, that ain’t something that you can finance.”
