Word Power is the debut album by American rapper and producer Divine Styler.
[3] The Scheme Team, a hip hop collective of Divine Styler, made their introduction on the record.
Divine rhymed about being proud of heritage (highlighted on "It's a Black Thing") and featured audio production handled by Bilal Bashir (who made later instrumentals for the likes of Everlast, Dr. Dre, and Ice Cube), who later re-released this album in instrumental form in 2005.
The album produced the only lead single "Ain't Sayin' Nothin", featuring a scratch noise similar to the sound used in "Jump Around" and "Insane in the Brain".
The Chicago Tribune called the album "exciting, and that isn't a word you can use to describe many recent rap releases.
