In 1996, Lil' Kim went into the studio to record her debut album, the witty, rugged, sexually brazen Hardcore.
Originally part of the late Notorious B.I.G.'s rap collective Junior M.A.F.I.A., in which she was the lone female, Kim's star power shone brightly on smashes like “Player's Anthem” and “Get Money.” Her delivery on those tracks helped propel Junior M.A.F.I.A.'s 1995 album Conspiracy into Billboard's Top 10 and established her on the forefront of the hip hop music scene. With three albums under her belt, a host of scene-stealing cameos on hits from Jay-Z to Missy Elliott, movie roles, cosmetic contracts, and the eyes of the fashion world on her, Lil' Kim has become a hip hop phenomenon. Lil' Kim has achieved icon status with her naughty-but-clever wordplay, bombshell beauty, and enormous presence (despite her 4'11” frame).
