Albums
With records like "The Forgiven One" (2003) and "God's University" (2004), "Bringin da Pain" (2005), she has grown in the gospel and has allowed Christ to mold her in the way he wants. Her fourth album "I Am That I Am" (2006) is a totally different approach, than anyone has every seen.

2 Years
The two year recording process was a journey. She recorded over 80 tracks within two years and was able to drop two albums in 3 months.

Concept
The concept of "I Am That I Am" is very simple. Lil La La is letting people know that God is in control of all things. "We have no power without Christ, but it is through Christ that we receive our strength".
