Lil " Kim recently expressed that her current pregnancy and impending motherhood has shifted her artistic views. The Brooklyn rapper is evolving and reinventing her music.

Reports Billboard:

"The baby dictates what days I go to the studio. I did work in the earlier stages of [my pregnancy]. My belly is pretty out there right now, but, I "m still working." "Some of my fans want me to make one type of music. I love them, and will always give them what they want but I "m just not going to go back to what "s not going to work right now. Even the way I used to dress, the Lil " Kim now can "t do that. It "s about reinventing and evolving." "One of the best lines from Jay Z, that made me feel him even more is: "… Want my old sh*t, buy my old albums. " I "m smart enough to know to not fuck with a classic." "My new music is not going to be "Hard Core. " It "s going to be sexy, of course. But you can "t do the same beautiful thing twice, the same exact way. Lightning [can] strike twice but it "s not going to be the same design or come at the same place. I just want to be creative."
