Lil' Kim launched from the Junior M.A.F.I.A. in 1996 with the aptly titled hit HARDCORE, using every bit of the sexuality she possessed in both her raw, tart rhymes and the provocative (and certainly unavoidable) marketing campaign surrounding her, becoming the first female hardcore rapper to go multi-platinum. With her notorious, larger-than-life image, it's easy to forget that the Queen Bee's still got the pipes to back up her undeniable swagger on her third offering LA BELLA MAFIA.
Kim's outspoken style is just the thing for belting out boasts like "I'm the real thing, y'all karaoke stars" on "This Is Who I Am" or issuing a song-long threat ("someone's gonna get in your house and put the (click) right in your mouth), the embodiment of a '30s gangster moll, on "This Is a Warning." Her commandeering, overwhelming sexuality is still alive and potent on "The Jump Off" featuring a guest shot by Mr. Cheeks, and she kicks down doors with Missy Elliott on a brazen declaration of self with the catchy "Can You Hear Me Now?"
