"Power" is the second album by Ice T. Released in 1988, the album produced the single and video "I'm Your Pusher," which got Ice T major air-play on MTV.

The album cover, photographed by Glen E. Friedman, was the subject of controversy upon its original release, due to the provocative pose of Darlene Ortiz, Ice T's girlfriend at the time. "I'm Your Pusher," an anti-drug song, was also interpreted as having the opposite message.
