Data Insight
The first album where she is credited on every single track, and the answer to Hard Core in that respect. Mario Winans produces seven of the eighteen and co-writes all seven, the largest single-collaborator presence anywhere in her work, with Sean Combs on four more. The writing is hers throughout; the sound belongs to Bad Boy.
The Notorious K.I.M. is Lil' Kim's second studio album, released on 27 June 2000 through Queen Bee, Undeas and Atlantic. Eighteen tracks running over seventy-seven minutes, made after the death of The Notorious B.I.G. It reached number 4 on the Billboard 200 and number 1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart, and sold roughly 5.1 million worldwide.
