*Rock legend Debbie Harry of Blondie pays tribute to jailed rapper Lil’ Kim in her new track “Dirty n Deep,” which can be heard on her MYspace page or www.blondie.net.
Harry describes her ode as a “love song for Kim” and a “political comment on the injustice of justice.” Kim was sentenced to 366 days in prison for lying to a grand jury about a 2001 shooting outside of New York’s Hot 97 radio station.
“So many of us love Lil' Kim and can't wait for her rebirth, re-entry, for her to get out of prison,” Harry said. “She shouldn't have been sent in, in the first place.”
Harry says in the song: "Throw down your Sweet Sixteen/Lil’ Kim can do it she could phone it in/She wants love and affection not the house of corrections/She stands where she stands it’s all in her hands." Debbie adds, "…we are all dying to hear your dirty rap again."
