(4/17/03, 5 p.m. ET) -- Pint-sized rapper Lil' Kim has recruited Queensbridge-based rap duo Mobb Deep for the remix of the rapper's latest hit, "The Jump-Off." The original version of the song featuring Mr. Cheeks is Number Six on the urban Radio & Records National Airplay charts.
Previously, Lil Kim and Mobb Deep collaborated on the remix to "Quiet Storm" from Mobb Deep's platinum 1999 release Murda Muzik. Mobb Deep member Havoc also appears on Lil' Kim's latest album, La Bella Mafia, on the song "Hold It Now," which he produced.
Lil Kim explains that through La Bella Mafia, her third release and second since the death of her mentor the Notorious B.I.G., people are starting to fully understand that she is a real entertainer.
"I'm a real entertainer," Lil' Kim said. "People don't understand that. I think because they thought Biggie did everything for me and he wrote everything for me which was not true. Biggie was the greatest rapper of all time and he definitely helped me out all the time. And he made sure that all my stuff was correct, so he taught me and I just learned from him. I'm picking up where he left off at."
La Bella Mafia was recently certified gold, for sales of 500,000 copies.
