“Give me an inch I’ll take a yard/ Oh lighten up y’all know I was comin’ back real hard.”

Check out the above pic of Rap icon Lil Kim enjoying the company of record producer Verse Simmonds recently, shared with fans via the social networking site Twitter.

Verse, for those who don’t know, is most renown for the contributions his ‘Juggernauts’ played in producing Rihanna‘s provocative number ‘Man Down’, which featured on her 2010 LP ‘Loud’ and remixed by Kim for her polarizing ‘Black Friday‘ mix tape.

Prompting speculation that the pair are to collaborate, the shot was reportedly snapped in a recording studio weeks after the MC promised the release of new material to fans during New York Fashion Week.
