History

In 1999, Lil' Kim started her own label, after previously being contracted to Big Beat/Undeas. She got help from P.Diddy with starting her own Label, and took Junior MAFIA with her. In December 1999, Kim then signed to Atlantic, which agreed to also provide distribution for the artists on her label. In 2006, Lil’ Kim partnered with Lance Rivera along with Queen Latifah's Flavor Unit which would be managing her career and be stake holders at the label. Kim was granted release out of her contract with Atlantic. In 2017, Lil’ Kim and the label signed a new distribution deal with eOne. The label was the first to receive demos from Kanye West and Nicki Minaj before they became discovered by other major record labels.
