The last few years have seen Lil Kim hit headlines for everything but her music.
However, in a new insightful interview with MTV Sucker Free, the Queen Bee has revealed that there’s a method to her madness.
Opening up for the first time on the topic, the femcee revealed that a succession of lawsuits and label drama have kept her from officially releasing new music, and at one point left her indebted to a former label.
Full story below…
Today brings with it the global release of Madonna‘s twelfth studio album, ‘MDNA’.
Given the length and breath of the Material Girl’s success, the LP’s arrival has been a three month long “event”. One which saw the 53 year old rock the Super Bowl, release singles ‘Give Me All Your Luvin” and ‘Girl Gone Wild’ (along with their accompanying videos), and announce a world tour.
Together, these have proved a potent potion for whipping up excitement amongst fans. Indeed, as at writing ‘MDNA’ sits at #1 on iTunes tally’s in a whopping 17 countries.
And, yet there remain certain pockets of press who simply aren’t swallowing her youth-soaked sing-a-long songs. Many have christened such material beneath her and not at all what she she should be serving up at this stage of her career.
So, ever keen to pierce through the smoke and mirrors, we want know …
Will you be buying Madonna’s ‘MDNA’?

Justin Bieber is back with new single ‘Boyfriend’, the lead release from forthcoming album ‘Believe’.
Produced by Mike Posner, the track re-introduces the teen pin-up as slicker, hipper, and markedly more “Urban”.

Despite the obvious and ever present set backs they face, Chris Brown can always count on support from his fan base, ‘Team Breezy‘.
Backing his music by way of ‘capital’ and their online presence, they- unlike a certain Rihanna Navy- are just as supportive with their mouths as they are with their money.
Case in point? Despite the fact that he has not stepped foot in the country, his British fans have secured him a #1 single with the dance hit ‘Turn Up The Music‘.

R&B-Soul ensemble Lucy Pearl and their debut single ‘Dance Tonight’ serve as this week’s From The Vault pick.
Comprised of the great Raphael Saadiq, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, and funky diva Dawn Robinson, the trio were somewhat of a super-group, having been part of Tony! Toni! Toné!, A Tribe Called Quest and En Vogue respectively. (Neo-Soul pioneer D’Angelo was intended to be part of the line-up but such plans fell through when he decided to concentrate on finishing his own record.)
Lifted from their eponymous album, ‘Dance’ was released during the Spring of 2000 and was hailed by critics who raved about its lush production and noted an incredible vocal chemistry between Saadiq and Robinson.
And yet, commercially, this piece of R&B-Soul only managed to reach the lower tier of the Top 40 (#36). A respectable feat for a new band you’d say; only this song had (and still has #1 inked all over it) and was an edible anthesis to the Bubblegum-Pop that was flooding the airwaves at that time… and stays superior to most of the fast-food pop that is topping iTunes today.
Still, justice was soemwhat served when the cut was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2001 in the Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Group or a Duo category.
From its vintage sets and an overall ‘zen’ vibe, the groove’s accompanying video is a perfect fit, bringing an already shy-high track to even higher grounds.
With the likes of Nas & Damian Marley, The Throne (Jay-Z & Kanye) and Duck Sauce (Armand Van Helden & A-Trak) killing in more ways than one the charts and stages of the world, it seems the music industry is slowly re-embracing the idea of supergroups like Lucy Pearl. Leading us to ask you…
Which artists would you put together in a supergroup?
With season 2 of ‘Braxton Family Values’ wrapped, it’s back to the day-job for the brood’s stalwart Toni Braxton.
The ever youthful 44 year old is readying the full version of new single ‘I Heart You’ for a March 29th release on iTunes. And so as to whet your apetite, we’ve got an preview.
Flip the hood to hear. We promise, you won’t be disappointed…
As the likes of Kirk Frankin, Mary Mary, and KiKi Sheard have shown, “inspirational” isn’t just for the grown folk. This being an ethos and torch which burns brightly with Londoner Leké Akinyemi.
A staple in the ever-renown Writeway Music collective, the 21 year old serves up rousing new single ‘Rodeo’. It’s a stellar introduction to the talent which resides in the budding star; and one which should go some way furthering his cause beyond the Gospel arena.
‘Rodeo’ hits iTunes on March 19th. Remember where you heard it first!
Your thoughts?
In many ways, last year’s ‘Love?’ put Jennifer Lopez back on the map. Ironically, a sales disaster, the set birthed the global smash ‘On The Floor’, served up solid singles, and enhanced “brand J.LO” tenfold (see: Idol, Fiat, Gillette).
Keen to keep up her momentum, the 42 year old is readying a new single, which features a familiar guest.
Details after the jump…
Alexandra Burke saw in the release of her new single ‘Elephant’ with an electifying set at London’s ‘G-A-Y’.
The Eric Morillo produced cut is living up to its hit potential on iTunes merely hours after release.
Indeed, as at writing, the track and the 3-track EP (which includes the Breathless Mix Burke performed on The Splash) occupy the #6 spots on the iTunes singles and album charts respectively. Combined with pre-orders, these collectively put Burke in reaching distance of the top spot on the Official UK Singles Chart next week. Needless to say, we’re rooting for her!

Believe it or not, since her visit to the country two years ago, Nicki Minaj has not stepped foot in the UK.
Indeed, while that might spell all kinds of trouble for any act hoping to fare well here, it doesn’t seem to have stopped the ‘Pink Lady‘ from dominating our charts.
For, following its ascent on this week’s UK Top 40, her latest single ‘Starships‘ has exceeded all expectations digitally.
