    New Song: Lil Kim – ‘Countin’ Money’

    Written by TriniTrent | Filed under Lil Kim
    Lil Kim Promo TheLavaLizard

    Lil Kim poses in a new promo pic.

    It wouldn’t be right for Lil Kim to label her upcoming tour ‘Return of the Queen’ if she didn’t truly return to form. As such, the rapper has dropped a new song called ‘Countin’ Money’ via the I.R.S. South ‘Tax Season’ mixtape that showcases the lyrical fire that once made her a star.

    The first of the ‘Return of the Queen’ shows will be hosted at Emo’s in Austin, Texas on May 11th. Kim will release her new album later this year and it will include the promotional single, ‘Keys to the City (Ft. Young Jeezy)’.

    Listen to Kim’s ‘Countin’ Money’ below:

    It’s clear that Kim’s desire to make music and actually rap serious bars has returned to its pre-2005 level. In addition to ‘Keys to the City’, ‘Countin’ Money’ demonstrates that she is once again focused on regaining her position as a leading female rapper. Yet, there is something that needs to do if she really wants to distinguish herself from her peers.

    As someone who encountered numerous legal and financial troubles during the last few years, Kim has a bigger story to tell that doesn’t only involve nice cars and money. Indeed, by addressing her turmoils through her music, Kim will connect with people on a deeper level and prove that she is not another “stupid hoe”.

      I agree with you Trent, she needs to dig deeper. This is lame.

    • @codeyDAboss

      I agree…and she is capable of doing that…..this shit is fire tho I just wish that they mix and master it before she officially releases it :-) …go KIM

    • DOMOdotSCORE

      I agree, I would love to hear some music about her struggles.

      Great song.

    • PinkLips

      I agree that I can’t wait to hear her story. But didn’t she tell her story on Naked Truth? BTW, this song is HOTT!! Kim is definitely in rare form lately.

    • PinkLips

      @sam, I don’t think Trent was calling this song lame. He was just critiquing what he thinks her total album should consist of, which is a mix.

    • Nelz

      I dont like this song then again I’m not that big on rap, maybe it was all that background noise from the dj [shrugs]

    • George

      This is one impresive track. Looking forward to her new album later this year. Should be a good one. Found the lyrics for this track at the link bellow.

      finally NO AUTOTUNE.. HER REAL BITCH VOICE get EM KIM

    • KendallJamaal

      Lyrically strong I suppose but this beat & extra shit behind it.. I don’t wanna hear that. In my eyes, not a strong record at all.

    • c

      ok Kim is getting back on the right track, now i just need her to really bring it like she did on her first 3 albums

    • _eriicc

      This song is pure fire! I’m proud of my Kimmy!

      On every album, she usually has a one or two heartfelt, personal songs about her life, including Heavenly Father (La Bella Mafia), Last Day, All Good and Slippin (The Naked Truth), and a couple with Mary J. Blige in the early 2000′s.

      It’d be great for another personal story song, not from the Lil’ Kim persona, but from Kimberly Jones.
