Lil Kim’s “9” introduction sets a slow-burning tone.
It’s been a minute since Lil Kim took it upon herself to deliver an album. In fact, the last full-fledged body of work we got was 2005’s The Naked Truth, before the legendary emcee opted for a lengthy hiatus. Yet 9 will soon be upon us come October 11th, and HHNM has shared a first look at the tracklist. Clocking in, rather appropriately, at nine tracks, Kim’s forthcoming effort appears to kick off on a lavish note. Enter the newest single “Pray For Me,” which features an appearance from Rick Ross and Musiq Soulchild.
Accompanied by Musiq Soul Child’s vocals and a boss verse from Rozay, Kimmy Blanco reflects on her illustrious career while fighting the temptation of the fast life. Opening with a low-key, atmospheric piano build, Musiq’s soulful vocals mark our first official introduction to the project. At this point, Kim’s pedigree speaks for itself. The track seems like the perfect way to open up the project with Kim both singing and rapping over the track.
Take a listen to the song below and let us know what you think. ISSA BOP OR ISSA FLOP?
