Lil' Kim squeezes into too small hotpants and cropped jacket to launch new mixtape

The spotlight may have dimmed since she burst onto the rap scene as a member of Biggie Smalls’ notorious Junior M.A.F.I.A  in the mid-nineties, but Lil' Kim proved she still has the power to grab her audience’s attention by the scruff of the neck when she took to the stage in a raunchy leather outfit on Tuesday night.

 

The 39-year old was making what amounted to a comeback performance at The Box nightclub as she prepares for the release of new mixtape Hardcore 2K13: Back 2 Da Streets – her first fresh material in eight-years.

Wearing a cropped leather and suede jacket with very tight fitting leather hot-pants adorned with chains, Kim inevitably caught the eye as she worked her way through a lively set at the event, where she was appearing as a special guest.
