Brooklyn rap veteran Lil’ Kim recently talked about her sexuality being featured in music and the importance of showcasing her brand.
The Queen Bee said her sex-related lyrics often come from real-life experiences.
“All of my albums have never, never, never not had a sexy song on there. No matter what. I could be cracking jokes on one of my verses then out of nowhere you’re going to hear a sexy line. That’s just me. That’s how I talk in real life. But “#Mine” to me has that sexy feel even though it’s still gangsta. It’s gangtsta love.” (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”)
