ARTWORK: Lil’ Kim – Hard Core: Back 2 Da Streetz
I’m down for a new project from Lil’ Kim, with a couple of reservations:
- She’s got big cahones calling any of her present day music a sequel to the classic Hard Core; and
- If she pulls a stunt like a mail-order bullshit from before she is officially excommunicated from Hip-Hop.
With that said, I’m interested to hear what she has to offer with her latest.

Kane drops his latest visual for ‘Raindrops’, which is available for preorder here.
The video tells a story of a relationship where one partner finds it difficult to express their feelings. The other partner reassures them that they are not alone and wants to help if only they knew what was going on in their mind. It promotes openness in a relationship.
