Lil' Kim Adds Second Brooklyn "Hard Core Symphony" Concert

Lil’ Kim has announced a second show for her “Hard Core Symphony” Brooklyn show featuring the Thee Phantom & The Illharmonic Orchestra at Kings Theatre in the emcee’s hometown of Brooklyn, NY, now on Nov. 18 & 19.

The shows celebrate her seminal double-platinum debut album, Hard Core , which The Notorious B.I.G. executive produced and originally released in 1996.

As reported, Thee Phantom & The Illharmonic Orchestra, an all-Black orchestral ensemble known for blending hip-hop and R&B with sophisticated live instrumentation, will join the celebration, helping the legend bring a new twist to her classic album. This unique performance will bridge hip-hop and R&B, transforming some of Kim’s most celebrated songs into a symphonic experience.

Fans can expect two evenings filled with orchestral renditions of some of the album’s most iconic anthems, including “Not Tonight (Ladies Night Remix),” “Big Momma Thang,” “Crush On You,” and “No Time” alongside her signature stage presence.

Tickets for the newly added show go on sale at 12 p.m. ET HERE .
