The comeback album was originally scheduled to be released in May, but eOne Music decided to postpone its release. Kim most recently took home the I Am Hip Hop award at BET's Hip-Hop Awards, where she reunited with Junior M.A.F.I.A. and performed a medley of classics.

The Naked Truth was a bittersweet moment for Kim. Released while she served a year-long prison sentence for perjury, it remains the only album by a female rapper to be rated five out of five mics by The Source.
