LIL KIM BIOGRAPHY:
Born Kimberly Jones,
11 July 1975, Brooklyn, New York, USA. Having survived some time on the streets
as a teenager, Lil' Kim was aided by Biggie Smalls (the Notorious B.I.G. )
who helped her team up with the New York rap collective Junior MAFIA. A strong
response to her contributions to their 1995 debut single, 'Player's Anthem',
and the ensuing Conspiracy, earned her comparisons with MC Lyte for her adept
microphone skills. She then worked on albums by artists including Skin Deep
and Total, before launching her own career in 1996 with Hard Core. This sexually
explicit hardcore rap album came as something of a shock in the male-dominated
world of hip-hop, but an aggressive marketing campaign and strong reviews
helped it reach number 11 in the Billboard charts. The album featured an array
of star producers, including Puff Daddy, with whom Lil' Kim duetted on the
number 1 rap single 'No Time'. Like many hip-hop artists she also established
an acting career, appearing in 1999's hit comedy, She's All That. Her sophomore
album was released the following June.
