Series Info

“Power Book III: Raising Kanan” goes back to 1991 when Supras are the whip of choice and a fly shearling coat is a symbol of status in the hood. Kanan navigates this world of glamour and grit as he comes into his own and gets out of the shadow of his mother, Raq, who runs the streets of Southside Jamaica, Queens, with her brothers, Marvin and Lou-Lou. Despite Kanan being under their watchful eyes, danger lurks just around the corner. There’s Unique, a rival dealer who has his eye on the family’s turf, and Detective Malcolm Howard, a pestering cop who gets a kick out of harassing community members and getting under Raq’s skin.
