Lil' Cease and Junior Mafia are preparing the release the follow up their debut DVD, "Chronicles of Junior Mafia."

The second installment of the DVD series is titled "The Chronicles of Junior Mafia Part II: Reloaded," and will feature the group explaining their involvement with the Lil' Kim trial.

“We're giving it to y'all real raw, real uncensored, straight to DVD," Cease told AllHipHop.com. "It's about the whole Kim case, all the mixed words going out about [how] we told [on her] and this and that."

Cease, as well as other rappers and executives in the music business present during a broad daylight shooting in 2001 that left a man wounded, were subpoenaed to testify during Lil' Kim's federal perjury trial.

Lil' Kim was convicted in March of 2004 on three counts of perjury and one of conspiracy.

The charges stem from an altercation and shooting that occurred between members of Lil' Kim’s entourage and a group of men traveling with rap group Capone-N-Noreaga, in front of Hot 97’s New York offices in 2001.

Kim was accused of lying to a grand jury about her knowledge of the shooting and initially told a grand jury that she did not know the gunmen involved in the shooting.

Her former manager Damion Butler and an associate, Suif “Gutta” Jackson, were convicted of being the shooters during the melee.

Jackson has already been sentenced to ten years in prison for his role in the shooting.

On the stand Kim admitted to prosecutors that she knew both men, but maintained that she had cut them out of her life due to shady business practices.

During the trial, testimony from witnesses, videotaped evidence and testimony from the gunmen themselves helped the federal jury convict Lil’ Kim.

The rapper will likely serve time in prison and is facing a maximum of 5 years for each count when she is sentenced in late June.

Cease said the DVD, which is in the process of being edited, will exonerate him from charges that he turned on his former band mate.

"I went and got all the evidence, all the paperwork to show what really happened," Cease revealed.

“Chronicles of Junior Mafia II: Reloaded” is tentatively scheduled for a July release.
