Brooklyn rapper Lil’

Kim will hold the unique distinction of being the first female to ever get a 5-mic

rating from The Source magazine.

The Naked Truth, the rapper’s fourth solo album,

will be bestowed with the prestigious honor in the October issue of the magazine.

“I think

it just does great for the evolution of women,” Lil’ Kim told AllHipHop.com.

“I thinks it’s gonna be great for women now too.”

With her latest

offering, Lil’ Kim said she’ll help change the pessimistic attitudes

for females in Hip-Hop.

“Some women

probably feel like, ‘I’m not even gonna try to get five mics, I know I

ain’t getting five mics,’” Lil’ Kim said. “So women

[will] be like, ‘Now I know I can get five mics.’”

The Naked Truth

release date has also been changed. The album was originally slated to hit stores

September 13, but will now hit stores September 27.

Lil’ Kim,

once a member of Notorious B.I.G.’s Junior Mafia rap group, was sentenced

to 366 days in federal prison for lying to a federal grand jury about her knowledge

of a 2001 broad daylight shoot out in front of Hot 97’s offices in New

York.

The rapper will

report to a Connecticut prison on September 19 to start serving her prison term.

La Bella Mafia,

Kim’s last album, got four and a half mics from the Source, known as the

“Hip-Hop Bible.”
