This is a comprehensive listing of official releases by American rapper Lil' Kim. She has released four studio albums, one extended play, thirteen singles, and one DVD single on Atlantic Records. In total, Kim has sold over five million albums in the United States.[1]

In 1994, Kim was a member of the hardcore rapper group Junior M.A.F.I.A.. Their first album, "Conspiracy", was released in August 1995, and sold half a million copies in the United States. It produced the gold and platinum-certified top-twenty singles, "Player's Anthem" and "Get Money", and "I Need You Tonight".

Originally signed to the Big Beat (Atlantic subsidiary) label, Kim's debut studio album, Hardcore, was released in November 1996, and sold over two million copies in the United States.[2] It produced three singles, of which two were certified gold and platinum by the RIAA and earning her a Grammy Awards nominated. Her second album The Notorious K.I.M. was released in June 2000 and sold over a million copies in the United States. It spawned five released singles, "No Matter What They Say" and "How Many Licks?." In 2001, Kim collaborated alongside Christina Aguilera, Mýa, and Pink on Missy Elliott's Grammy Award-winning number-one song "Lady Marmalade," a cover version recorded for the soundtrack of the film Moulin Rouge! (2001). The song became a worldwide number-one hit.

After a musical hiatus, Kim released La Bella Mafia in 2003. It eventually sold a million copies stateside, with its single "The Jump Off" and "Magic Stick", her biggest solo success to date. Her fourth studio album, The Naked Truth, released in 2005, was not as successful as it's predecessors which was partly attributed to lack of promotion due to Kim being incarcerated at the time of its release. Naked Truth did however reach No. 6 in the US and sold 394,000 copies.[3] It spawned two released singles, "Lighters Up", which became a top forty hit in the United States, and "Whoa". Kim then returned in 2009 which the single "Download", which become a top-thirty UK hit.
