Lil’ Kimhas been added to the line-up for this year’s Lovebox festival, which will be her first performance in the UK in over ten years. Wow! The Queen Bee will be taking to the stage at London’s Victoria Park on the weekend of July 19th joined by a whole list of big names including Azealia Banks whom she has previously had harsh words with from a failed attempt to collaborate, Plan B, Wiley, D’Angelo, Rudimental, AlunaGeorge and Disclosure.

WetpaintTV linked up with Lil’ Kim this week before her show at Gramercy Theatre to chat about the return of female rappers in the forefront of the game and her new artists, Tiffany Foxx and Young Goldie. Read what she had to say below:

We’re now seeing a shift in female hip-hop where the veteran rap chicks from the ‘90s are starting to come back into the game. Eve’s about to drop, rumor has it that Foxy’s back in the studio, and now you’re gearing up with more music. How do you feel about trailblazing that movement again?
I think it’s important because we [female rappers] were — and are — a major part of hip-hop. When we were coming up in the game, the music we made was such a major change; it was important to music at the time. [Now] the synergy is lined up! The game has been so male-dominated for so long. With all the women coming back now, this is a way where we get kind of even.

Yes, for sure! And you’re also breaking a new artist named Tiffany Foxx.
That’s my baby! She’s so fun, she’s so creative, and she’s such a star — I love her. I really just want her to win. I also have another artist who’s a guy named Young Goldie. We have a new hit called “1Hunnit”, ‘cause you gotta keep it 100 no matter what!

Lil’ Kim performed at Gramercy Theatre in New York this week. And, XXL Magazine caught up with her long awaited return to music, the title of her upcoming album and when to expect the first official single from her. Read on below:

On her official single:
“I’ve had so many singles that we just put out to feed the streets, but the first official single will be out in May, June or July. [It's] produced by Bangladesh. It’s different.”

On the rumored title of her album, Hard Core 2: All Hail The Queen
“No, [Hard Core 2: All Hail The Queen] was just something that my fans tried to push on us. They had their own mind made up of things they want me to do. Songs they want me to make. Vintage was a title I heard. I was like, ‘Cute.’ I like vintage clothes, and everyone knows that, so people were like, ‘Oh, Kim, because your favorite kind of clothes are vintage, why don’t you name the album Vintage?’ I’m like, ‘It’s cute, but no.’ [Laughs]“

On returning to music:
“It feels good. [There's] nothing like a great comeback. I love being the underdog sometimes. Right now, I may be considered an underdog in some specific iconic way. You know what I mean? Sometimes, we have to go into hibernation and regroup. I’m blessed enough to been in the game for a while and still have my beautiful fans and still have the respect. That’s something that gets me going. I’m also fortunate enough to take vacation and take a little hiatus. Relax, and see what the next level I want to go to.”

Lil’ Kim made an appearance at Rihannas Diamond World Tour in Newark last night to chat it up and have some backstage fun with her. Rihanna appeared delighted to have her presence at the show, giving her a shout out on stage. Check out more photos of the two having fun with eachother as well as fans below and pray that they discussed a dope collaboration!
