History

In 1999, Lil' Kim started her own label, after previously being contracted to Bad Boy Records. She got help from Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs with starting IRS Records, and took all Junior MAFIA members to her newly created label. in December 1999, Lil' Kim then signed to Atlantic Records, which agreed to also provid distribution for the artists on her private label. After being released from prison at 2006, Kim was ready to resurrect her career, and the label. In December 2007, Kim had teamed with Lance "Un" aka "Uncle Pauly" Rivera along with ShaKim Compère & Queen Latifah's Flavor Unit Entertainment which would be managing her career and be stake holders at the label. Thanks to Un & ShaKim, Kim was released out of her contact with Atlantic Records. In 2011, Lil Kim and the label have signed a new distribution deal with Brookland Entertainment, which is an indie label distributed by Republic Records.
