Lil Kims last album, The Naked Truth, came out in 2005 and she has continued releasing mixtapes in the years since. Her most recent, Lil Kim Season, arrived in 2016. Go Awff, which featured a sample of The xxs Dangerous, dropped last month. The new album was originally expected last year after the rapper kicked off the release with a track called Nasty One.
Missy Elliott offered her support when Lil Kim announced 9. Congratulations sis, her fellow rapper wrote on Twitter. Cant wait. Theres no news on the albums tracklist or potential collaborations yet.
