Lil’ Kim


Iconic-if-controversial rapper Lil’ Kim’s previous
studio album, The Naked Truth, was released
during a brief prison sentence she served in


  1. Now, the follow-up to that critically-
    acclaimed album has finally arrived – and
    perhaps unsurprisingly, is much more relaxed
    in tone, even if the artist’s characteristic
    lewdness remains very much present.


FIVE FACTS:



  1. Lil’ Kim’s real, off-stage name is Kimberly
    Denise Jones.

  2. In 1994, Jones was discovered by
    renowned rapper The Notorious B.I.G., who
    was murdered in a drive-by shooting only
    three years later.

  3. Lil’ Kim’s debut studio album, Hard Core,
    has sold over six million copies since its
    release in 1996.

  4. Lil’ Kim served her prison sentence
    for perjury.

  5. She has often been declared the “Queen
    of Rap” by the press.
