On her latest record “Real Sick,” which features Jadakiss, Lil Kim makes it absolutely clear that she’s “married to the game" and that "we don’t do dates.” The notion is witty, but also quite clear considering the Queen Bee’s long-standing music career.
Hard Core 2K14, a nod to her classic 1996 debut Hard Core, will find Kim delivering her first full-length project in nearly half a decade. It also arrives just a two months after the femcee gave birth to her newborn daughter, Royal Reign. Balancing motherhood and music, Kim tells REVOLT that fans can expect “a little mixture of everything” on her new material, which is something she’s been proving on the string of freestyles released these last couple of weeks.
“I don’t feel the need to change up my style or change the things that I used to rap about,” she says. “I definitely have more to rap about.” Besides the freestyles over tracks like Bobby Shmurda’s “Hot Ni—a” to Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and even Rae Sremmurd’s “No Flex Zone,” Kim will prove just how much more material she has to say on Hard Core 2K14.
“I think motherhood has made me a better person a better artist and I think motherhood has just made me not give a f—k,” she revealed. “Everything I do is for [Royal Reign]."
As for specifics on the 12-track project, Kim says Hard Core 2K14 will "defintiely include original songs." Among the many tracks will be the Jadakiss-featured "Real Sick" and "Trendsetter," which happens to be one of Kim's favorites.
"'Trendsetter’ represents the evolved me," she said, before adding, "Because that’s basically who I am."
"I’ve been a trendsetter since I walked into this industry. It’s a great thing to have people follow me and want to dress like me and want to be like me, that’s the most rewarding thing about being in the industry.’"
