Multiple award-winning rapper and hip-hop artist Lil’ Kim is using her star power to shine a spotlight on the ongoing fight against HIV/AIDS. Lil’ Kim will be the featured headliner at the 33rd annual AIDS Walk Atlanta Music Festival and 5k Run presented by AHF Pharmacy. Multifaceted singer/songwriter and DJ Durand Bernarr will join to kick off the concert event that follows a 5K run/walk through Atlanta’s historic midtown community.
