Brooklyn rap veteran Lil’ Kim recently provided fans with an update on her music-making and revealed why she is not penciling in a new album for 2016 just yet.
Queen Bee blamed her past experience promoting albums with her record labels for not wanting to confirm new release plans.
“I never “aim” to put out an album. When I was with my record company, they would aim to put out an album but I’ll be honest with you, I’d aim for certain days to drop an album and it would never happen. We’d get so caught up in making good singles and good music where we would just be vibing. When the time was right we’d drop an album. Honestly I’m just having fun making music right now.” (EW)
Recently, Kim talked about working with former NFL champion Bryant McKinnie on new music.
“I respect Bryant’s energy and input. When I really started to listen to him I realized that he really knows music and gives you nothing but real talk when you ask his opinions.” McKinnie isn’t exactly producing Kim’s new album … he says he’s acting in more of an “A&R capacity” but the Queen Bee says he knows what’s hot in music … because he’s the king of the Miami club scene.

In December, the Brooklyn rap veteran talked about preparing for a follow-up to 2005’s The Naked Truth album.
“I’m working on a new album for next year. I put up a post not too long ago, I was at my old record label, so, maybe, hint, hint. I got a couple tours that I’m going to be a part of. So just watch and wait.” (Hot 97)
Back in May, footage of Kim announcing her return bubbled online.
“It’s time for the black Kardashian. Everyone calls me Lil’ Kim, the Queen Bee. Everyone knows me for being fabulous. My friends say that I’m hilarious. The new album, I’m pulling out all the stops. Puffy is back in my life. I’m getting ready to relaunch the new label. I’m recording and making bottles at the same time, you know, changing diapers.” (“The Lil’ Kim Show”)
