Lil' Kim

Hip-hop She's making the most of her time as a free woman. Fighting accusations that she lied to a grand jury, the Queen Bee brings her raunchy, plastic, collagen, Botox show to town. While she's gained a new fan base amongst drag queens, hip-hop heads still long for the lyrically gifted Kimberly Jones they remember from her Junior M.A.F.I.A. days.

Fri., Sept. 3, 7 p.m., $40, with Swizz Beats, The Trocadero, 1003 Arch St., 215-922-LIVE.
