She’s finally done it.
After the failing to hit the spot with ‘Black Friday’ and the easily forgettable ‘If You Love Me‘, Lil Kim serves up ‘Keys To The City‘, ahead of her brand spanking new album.
Get into it below…
Fire!
From top to bottom, ‘Keys’ is just what the Hip Hop Gods ordered.
Gritty, witty and a far cry from her garbage of yesteryear, if Kimberly is consistent with this material her return to relevancy may arrive sooner than expected.
Well done.
That Grape Juice score:
4/5

trending world wide already!
YES INDEED KIM!! THIS IS WHAT WE NEED!!!!
*bops*……im so bout this Hardcore Kim shyt!
I’M THE ONLY B**** WIT THE KEYS IN THE CITY!
Real hip hop.
Still shading Kim?
YES…. KIMMMY IS BACK FOR SURE… LOVE IT… LIL KIM GOOOOESSSSSSSSSSS HARD!!!!!!!!!!!
I was willing to give this a listen…here are my thoughts:
0:32 – I thought that was something you explicitly told us NOT to talk about.
0:39 – Now she’s ripping off Shawnna’s flow?
0:46 – I am SOOOOO not diggin’ Kim singin’ about slingin’ crack.
0:59 – So you’ve adopted the SAME RHYME SCHEME as Ms. Onicka?
1:12 – WE DON’T BELIEVE YOU…YOU’VE NEVER COOKED AN OUNCE OF CRACK IN YOUR LIFETIME!
1:20 – You did NINE MONTHS of a YEAR-LONG SENTENCE (for which the usual penalty is 20). After Rem got her eight-year bid, yours pales in comparison.
1:37 – Hold up…Brooklyn and Atlanta are HUGE cities, and you’re the only ones to whom the Mayor has ever given the key?
1:44 – THANK YOU JEEZY…please save my ears!
1:57 – Now HE’S the Snowman…HE can talk about all that because he’s been through all that.
2:37 – I think we can say Jeezy is to Kim on this what Eminem was to Jay-Z on “Renegade”
2:51 – This is getting ANNOYING! Repetitive chorus for the LOSS!
3:07 – OK, I’ll admit that punchline was dope.
3:29 – FOR THE LAST TIME MS. JONES, YOU ARE NOT A DRUG DEALER!!!!! Never have been, never will be.
3:36 – Especially given what your competitor’s in prison for, this line lacks authenticity.
3:42 – And that’s ANOTHER rapper whose flow she’s ripping off! #BAWSE
3:46 – I’m sorry, I never remembered any cocaine at ALL in the land of Hyrule.
3:55 – OHHHHH…your FLOW is like crack. In that case, crack is wack.
3:58 – NOT THAT AGAIN! I’ll just skip to the end.
4:53 – #FreeRemy
yesss Kim
the hook is WEAK, but the song isn’t bad. she could have gone harder, though. you and i both know it.
Yes Kim IS BACK!
Feeling this song!
This is way better then the other songs
Hope we get more singles before the album release
#TEAMLILKIM
AHHHHHHH! I LOVE IT!!! KIM THE WORLD NEEDS U!!!
I say this is decent people are exaggerating I think its cus she finally. Put out something decent now they just toooooo happpy and be like Banger! Its okay
LOVE IT
1st of all it’s not called keys TO the city it’s keys IN the city, as in she’s the only b**** selling KEYS OF COCAIN in the city. 2nd she will still flop no matter what she raps about. If it ain’t about getting her p**** ate and suckin d*** she’ll FLOP cus thats the Kim her fans like with their horney asses.
it was ok, not singe material, but def nice for an hip hop album-
LOVE ITTTT!!!!!!!! Kimmy and jeezy given me life, my b**** moving weight. Given b****** hell.
Burmy….if u got that much time on ur hands….one would think you’d dedicate it towards somethin….I don’t know…more PRODUCTIVE. Poor gal.
I LOVE it , but i also looved if You Love Me
She killed Nicki new album with this one song.
DAMN IM LOVIN IT HARDCORE GANGSTA ISH AINT NO FLOP DO WOP POP
thats my kim…REAL HIP HOP STAND UP….
and jeezy, love him……
that song was fire..
look at the nicki stans talking about because shes talking her her puss and d*** thats why we love her..
newsflash, nicki also talks about her cooch and d**** too..
but anyway, nicki is not hip hop shes pop,,,so i dont know why yall getting mad
@Burmy um yeah Kim dealt with Drugs in her past smuggling and selling for dealer to get by dumbass.
I can’t with this FLOP channeling the QUEEN NICKI at 0:54-0:59… since when does she pronounce her words like that?? and she gone f*** around and have throat problems trying to strain her voice to make it deep like in the 1900s and still FAILED…
Go Kim! I love her because she’s determined. She’s doing it without a HUGE machine behind her. I respect your hustle and determination Kim. I SALUTE!
KIM IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@kimcareerdeadghostbuster she is no hold a word that takes up 16 bars like Nicki just making the words flow. Plus the is a leak. That why its not mixed well just what to the real cut hits the streets. Oh Baby **Beyonce voice**
I’m glad Hardcore Kim is back. I’ve been a Kim fan since the beginning. Don’t get me wrong I don’t have anything against Nicki its just her style of Rap changed when she got put on, Nicki use to go hard to. Now its all bubble gum. I can’t wait for Nicki to stop doing that s*** and get back to her also. Everyone quick to talk about Kim, but she paid her dues and she opened up alot of doors.
@Kim career DEAD ghostbuster: Fool you have too much time on your hands, are you sad that real artists who actually rap knows Nicki is b*******?? Little Kid move and go and read a book, Kim, Missy, Eve knows they can wipe the floor outta that fail of an “so called hip hop artist” . Are you mad that KIM CAN ACTUALLY SPIT RHYMES AND NICKI CANT SPIT S*** BESIDES PINK FRIDAY ROMAN B******* TRASH GARBAGE?? Sorry to bust your bubble, NICKI IS FINISHED, THIS UPCOMING ALBUM IS A FLOP, QUEEN OF WHAT?? SHE IS THE QUEEN OF 4 YEAR OLD NURSERY RHYMES FOR 3 YEAR OLDS.
Anyways, good Kim is getting back to the raw s***, Kim should keep this up and do the album like Hardcore and Notorious K.I.M.
aunt.dot is preparing her arrival for a mass massacre. NICKI/FAN.STAYPRESS.B****
@Burmy you has a lot of Tim on your hands don’t you? taking minutes. It’s a cool track. I needed this. Kim is taking steps in the right direction. Say what you want ths track is wwwwwwaaaaaayyyyyyy better than Nicki’s new song Beez in a Trap. That song is terrible.
RAW HIP HOP YOU GO KIM. I don’t care for Jezzy to much tho
KIM!!!!! Y’all who don’t get it…..well, y’all aint bout this life so, I don’t expect you to get it. How yall saying Kim stealing from these other rookies and she’s been out since ’95. She’s flowed like this a plenty of times. It’s called being versatile and not like you bottoms wanna be. HA!
I like it! I must say after those corny hip hop tracks nicki been releasing lately this is a breath of fresh air. Nicki needs to sit her kindergarten rappin ass down somewhere
Hottttttttt! I’m not really enthusiastic about Lil’ Kim using the high-pitcher, but this song exempts it.
This. Is. Fire.
Welcome home, Queen Bee!!!
WELCOME BACK KIM…

THANK YOU TGJ FOR NOT THROWING SHADE AT LIL KIM THE QUEEN OF RAP, IT WAS ABOUT TIME YOU SAY SOMETHING NICE!
I LIKE IT!!!
loves it
So this is the material cooked by someone who accused Nicki Minaj of copy-pasting her? No way. So different and Nicki’s far better than her.
GOES SO HARD QUEEN BITCH4LYFE
TGJ have the worse taste in music (if that’s what you can call this) .. However, I just came her to say how PHOTOSHOPPED this photo is ahaha she is fooling no one…… NEXT!
Love it! My only wish is that it’s not man on the hook saying “I’m the only b****….” but still LoVE. It’s gangsta it’s hardcore hip hop…. So f***** refreshing!
This is what hip hop have to sound like , not an ole weido screeming and crying on a track wasting bars. WITH HER LYRICS THAT MAKES NO SENSE. Niki just makes up words and put them together in her songs. Nothing special. Lil kim has been that hot hard core rapper since 95 and for the idiot to say that lil kim stealing niki rap style had me laughing. I will suggest you go listen to kim songs maybe you were not alive yet and her videos and see all what niki has copied. No wonder niki called yall stupid h***.
Go kim these young bees want to come in the game and just mess up music on a whole.
It’s ok. I’m rooting for her, but this isn’t very good. Her lyrcis are getting better, but the flow and the beat were not THAT great. Still, can’t wait for more tracks, hoping what she has in store is better than this one. This song is not bad, but not amazing either.
love it enough said! “All Chick With The Keys To the City”
@Burmy once again you sounding stupid, do your reasearch or did they teach you that in school. Kim been doing this and rapping like this don’t ever compare or say she copied as much as these rappers been copying her. Make sure you check her arrest record and you be put to shame with all those stupid @’ss comments. Your almost late to work go flip those cheap @’ss bugers at Wendy’s before they fire yo @’ss
I hate RatedX and the two The Lax ugh!!!!!!
Anyways not bad but still going to flop
Jackie o> lil Kim. Khia>lil Kim
All of khia track shits on lil Kim tracks
Khia is releasing a album soon n will not flop unlike lil Kim who has to release music on paypal anyways I cant wait for missy n trina new album
Female rap is coming back
HaaaHoooHeeee ^^^^ that’s for the laugh. You must be buying Khia 4,000 copy of her last recordings.
Lol what khia gotta do with the queen?
I know people crack jokes on Khia but that chick had got skills.
Take a listen Been a Bad Girl.
It is coming back and sorry but khia wont be apart of that This that crack music something you don t know about school yourself KIM has the keys to miami google it she also use to hustle before her rap career and stood trail like a n****, and not snitchin thats a real chick , and now she has distribution through universal she a BOSS B**** WORK FROM HOME AND SHE ABLE!!!
eurontay@twitter
@BURMY, you really need to get a life. Did you really take time out of your day to analyze the song in that much detail? Anyway, the song is hot and for the streets. If you bopped your head to it then it’s all good! Keep em comin Kim!
Kimmie Blanco H***
Funk Flex tag your ass off my Queen Bee track
It’s GREAT!!! love it!! I love her down south flow. But I know she can flow alot different if you listen to “I’M NOT THE ONE” I love how she can do hardcore NYC and down south and POP flows she got it all TEAMKIM FOR LIFE.
I love it Kim is back finally with some real Lyrics…. u go Queen B
Yes MAM THIS IS FIRRE!! YES THIS IS THE KIM I LIKE. NOW IF SHE CAN HIT THE KILL SWITCH WITH ALL THAT SURGERY.. BUT THIS IS CERTIFIED!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! TURNE ALL THE WAY UP!!
However not a fan of the dope messages in all the music. Im just happy she dropped something decent for her. But dope sellin is played out.. Rappers live in mansions, but tellin u they sellin dope, betta holla at real dough boys.
A lot of people commenting on here clearly have never listened to a Lil’ Kim album. Although she has sexually charged lyrics, most of the songs on her albums are about selling drugs because that’s what she used to do. Jay-Z shot her out on “Roc Boys” for the work she used to put in for him. Lil’ Kim is a thug and that’s why n***** in the rap game respect her. Not because she walks around in Chanel boots.
^^^ I still do not agree with it . Can I have a different opinion. Did you read my previous post when i said I did like it, however I wish everything wasn’t about dope. Yes I have heard her music, but sometimes we can find new things to talk about as we grow.
The Queen B— is BACK.!! If Aaliyah was still here, she’d say this joint is HOT LIKE FIYAAH.!!
Keep doin ya thang Kim.!
Hate the way Grape Juice Team Clone Clown A**es post this, but okay…they congratulated Kim, in a way, a HATER would’ve ..but it’s whatever.
KEEP DOIN YOU KIM, THAT’S WHAT BIG WOULD’VE WANTED.!!
Oh really, KiM? Is this how you compete with Nicki by putting out a song you did ten years ago for some wreasle mania s*** for the WWE!?! You then put it on an unreleased album in 2008 or 09 and get Jeezy to spit on it? Yo he blew your spot up. Young Jeezy barely remember that rap seeing that he did it years ago! How could you do this to your fans? Real hip hop heads are laughing at Kim. This track ain’t gonna get played …. its too explicit. Just stop, please!
This goes hard kim. Keep it up. Consistency is what we need from you…if you can achieve that, then the B**** IS BACK. Ooowwwwww!
BURMY are you kidding me? This track is crazy hot and she is using no ones flow! You Kim never had anything to do with drugs? You must be young as hell and not know any better because Kim def can talk all the s*** she wants about slingin and all that cause she has actually lived that life. Watch VH1’s Lil Kim: Behind the Music….check your facts!
“To Lil’ Kim and them, you know the women friend who carry the work across state for a gentlemen” – Jay-Z (Roc Boys)
Lol C’mon son!!!
On another note This track is FIRE!!!!!!!! It is just what hip hop needed. The Queen is back to save REAL Hip Hop.
As a native of Brooklyn, I know Lil Kim could’ve done better! & who was the recording and mix engineer?! because they need to be fired. too much reverb on the lead vocals of kim, the delay is too loud and her vocals are obviously distorted & that effect on the chorus??!! smh. Its like have you ever heard of proper gain staging, compression, and limiting? The LAST thing kim needs is for the mix to sound like sh*t on top of everything else. Probably was a financial issue. You could tell jeezy recorded his part in another studio by someone more professional.
s*** is f***** sick, kim did her thang, love it, dont worry about the hate kim its free promotion.
DOPE TRACK LOOKING FOR MORE!!!
First of All For All You dumbass Nicki fans Kim Have Sold Drugs With biggie they Both sold Drugs Look At the “rise of Rise ” Of Lil Kim they Will Tell You She Sold Drugs And Yall so F****** Dumb Like Really She Puts Out Some Lyrical And Yall Still talm Bout she Can’t Kill Nicki….(We Learned Nursery Rhymes in KinderGarden) Like tell Nicki To Grow THe F*** Up We Grown Ass Hell Now We Need some That Makes Sense Nicki is Confused About her Whole F****** Life she Don’t Know if She Want to Be A Girl or A Boy…….. In Hell Or In Heaven……A Kid Or A Woman…. Whoaaa We Need Real Hip Hop Keep Doing Yur Thang Kimmy

Aw, this was an exceptionally good post. Spending some time and actual effort to generate a really good
article… but what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and never manage to get nearly anything done.
