The underground MC was honored by his song's inclusion, and even brought back his recaps of the show's episodes to celebrate.

50 Cent's TV series empire is in full swing, and Power Book IV: Force is enjoying pretty great season so far. However, for as big as the show and its head creative are, they still take some time to shout out some underground talent. Moreover, Fif included a track by battle rapper, DNA, in the end credits for the series' eighth episode. The underground MC shared his reaction to the shoutout on Twitter, and the Queens native clearly found a kindred spirit in the Queens legend. That regional camaraderie is always important to celebrate, cultivate, and highlight in hip-hop culture, and it clearly goes a long way in opening doors and bringing new opportunities for emerging talent.

"JUST FINISHED WATCHING POWER 'FORCE' EPISODE 8 N GUESS WHO SONG PLAYS AT THE END OF SHOW," DNA wrote of 50 Cent's cosign. "GOD IS GOOD. BIG SHOUTOUT 2 @bigtankmusic. ME & MY BROTHER @warrenwint BODIED THIS. PRODUCED BY: @jazzfeezy." Not only that, but the spitter also reinstated his social media series recapping each episode in the Power franchise, as this team-up inspired him to show them the same love that they showed him.

In fact, 50 Cent and DNA already have history, and their previous meet-ups make this chemistry less surprising, but even more meaningful. The two met up in Houston for the G-Unit mogul's concert for The Final Lap tour. This was the same weekend in which Ultimate Rap League hosted their Summer Madness event, for which they hung out with Smack White, URL's co-founder. Furthermore, they all promoted the event on social media, and having everyone in the same room for it showed the passion that they all have for the art form.
