They was trash outside of lil Kim

This always looked like Biggie Presents Lil' Kim and Lil' Cease featuring the homies. I didn't know "I Need You Tonight" was even a single. It also never sounded like Aaliyah on the album version of that song.

(This was one of the hardest singles of 95)

(This record was in instant classic when I heard it. That beat and sample are timeless)


Low-Key this was a very successful group project. It came it a #8 on the Billboard Charts so it was Top 10 Album. It was Gold was well. It had 2 Blockbuster Hit Songs in "Playa's Anthem" and Get Money" (Both of those singles produced Classic Remixes too). Those singles went Gold and Platinum as well. Lil Kim also had her first solo song with the fire "Backstabbers". The Aaliyah feature was a mild hit as well even going top 5 on the Dance Charts. Biggie was only on 4 Songs but he also produced on the album as well. It was a nice side project after the success of "Ready To Die". It had 3 interludes and intro and outro so it was really only 10 songs. So it had that Biggie Cinematic feel to the album.

Yes Biggie did a lot of the concepts and even writing for this album. There are reference tracks out there for "Playa's Anthem". As someone posted even "White Chalk 2" which was a remix on the Original OG Soundtrack and was dope (Big had a reference for that). Also tracks like "Realms of Junior Mafia", "Murder Onze", "Craaazzy" and "Oh My God" were all hard. Yes they weren't the best rappers in the world but the songs came out pretty good. It fits right into the 90's and this is the LP that literally birthed Lil Kim's career and set the stage for "Hard Core". Lil' Cease was also able to get one solo album in as well. It was dope when Daddy-O released those Two Unreleased Demos from the album too.

The only reason they didn't come out on Bad Boy is because Puffy didn't sign them. (But he jumped on the bandwagon once Get Money and Playa's Anthem dropped). This was Biggie's first Executive Producer credit of his career. It's funny because the Hits from the album get lumped into Bad Boy's catalog. I made a 20th Anniversary of the album remixes, b-sides, Demos and reference tracks. I wonder would Biggie have eventually done a "Conspiracy 2" down the line. Their 2nd album "Riot Muzik" had some bangers on it too but wasn't better than this album. I know he was mapping out Lil cease Solo album before died and finished Kim's debut "Hard Core".

They all lived together too, which was even crazier. Big introduced Kim to Faith as his artist and she was like "ok" and he moved Kim in with them.

Yeah Big was wild, lol. They finally made up after decades and did a remix of Big's "Miss U".
