    • Abstract:
      People everywhere keep their eyes on rapper Lil' Kim. She's satisfied that fans like her ever-changing, audacious look, but Lil' Kim would prefer that people remember what brought her into the entertainment industry in the first place--her music. She's hopeful that "La Bella Mafia," her third album, will endear fans to her music. The album was inspired by the 1997 film "Bella Mafia," in which mafia widows take over their husbands' business and avenge their deaths. The Brooklyn, NY, native hit the music scene in 1995 as the lone female member of the nine-member Junior M.A.F.I.A. (Junior Masters At Finding Intelligent Attitudes) rap group, founded by Notorious B.I.G. As MC Little Kim, aka Big Momma, the 5-foot-tall performer stood lofty as the lieutenant on the group's debut album, "Conspiracy."
