"Pow! (Forward)" is a controversial song by UK grime artist Lethal Bizzle in 2004.

It was banned from airplay on some radio stations due to some controversial lyrics about gun culture. Even with less promotion, it still managed to reach number 11 in the UK top 40 in late 2004. It has also been banned from many clubs as it tended to provoke fights.

The song features other popular Grime artists including Bruza, Fumin, D Double e, Nappa, Jamakabi, Neeko, Flowdan, Ozzie B, MC Forcer and Demon. It has two videos, one for Channel U TV a popular UK Hip Hop music channel, and one for MTV Base, a more well known channel which shows (mostly US) Hip Hop music.

Lethal Bizzle released "Forward Riddim 2" later on with his new crew Fire Camp. An interpolation of "Pow! (Forward)".

The documentary DVD titled Pow Pow was released in 2005 and had contributions from many of the performers on Pow!
