Lil' Mama was born in Harlem in 1989. She was raised in Brooklyn, New York where she attended Edward R. Murrow High School; one of the top schools in brooklyn. In 2006, Kirkland signed a recording contract with Jive Records. Her mother Tara died on December 15, 2007 following a four-year battle with breast cancer. Kirkland faced both personal and financial struggles at an early age. As one of eight brothers and sisters, she started to express herself artistically through poetry and dance.

Lil Mama released her 1st album on April 29, 2008 with 4 singles "Lip Gloss (song)", "G-Slide (Tour Bus)", "Shawty Get Loose (Featuring Chris Brown and T-Pain") and "L.I.F.E" selling 19,000 copies in the 1st week making it to number 25 on the Billboard 200.

On Sunday night, September 13, 2009, at the MTV Video Music Awards, rapper and "America's Best Dance Crew" judge Lil Mama came onstage during Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' performance unannounced and uninvited against Beyonce's attempts to keep her off the stage.

While Jay was ending his final "Empire State of Mind" verse, Mama came up from her seat in the crowd onto the stage and started bobbing her head to the beat. Jay looked surprised but continued to bop to the beat and even kept rapping. Jay patted Mama on the leg to fall back and even threw in a quick joke, saying, "You T-Paining right now," while Keys finished her chorus. The line refers to T-Pain jumping onstage with Jay-Z at Summer Jam during his "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)" performance. While Pain said he was asked to get on with the Jiggaman, Jay said in interviews he had no idea the singer was coming out with him.

In Mama's case, she didn't pay attention to Jay's gesture. When it came time to take a triumphant pose at the end of "Empire State of Mind" a pose meant for Jay and Alicia Keys Mama came up to the front and stood beside her peers and even did a b-girl pose next to them.

She was booed the following day on BET's 106 & Park along with Kanye West when she was mentioned.

Since the release of her first album Lil Mama has been in the studio working on new music for her fans. She has released "Dough Boy (Featuring Mishon)", "On & On & On", and "NYNYLALA (Featuring Snoop Dogg);" all of which failed to chart. Lil Mama has stated that she doesn't know if she's going to release another album yet, she's just taking it step by step. ... (more)
