During a visit to Hot 97 earlier this month, Kim announced the title of her first album since 2005’s The Naked Truth. “It’s called 9 and there’s a lot of meaning behind that,” she told Funkmaster Flex.
March 9 is the day Biggie died and June 9 is the day her daughter Royal Reign was born. This is also her ninth project, including four albums and four mixtapes.
Last month, she dropped her new single “Go Awff,” for which a video is expected to debut soon.
