New York-based duo LION BABE have released their latest single, ‘Harder’, which features Busta Rhymes.

Following on from the duo’s third studio album ‘Rainbow Child’, ‘Harder’ is an uptempo house and hip-hop cut with energetic rap verses from Rhymes.

The tune is about embracing self love, power and strength in today’s challenging world.

“‘Harder’ is an upbeat track for the world to release its energy to,” the duo explain. “Entering the realm of house and dance music, we also wanted to mix in elements of 90s New York jazz and soul sonics.

“Hip Hop legend Busta Rhymes seals the deal, lending his explosive energy, iconic flow, and voice to the record making it truly Harder.”

LION BABE consists of singer/songwriter and performer Jillian Harvey and DJ and producer Lucas Goodman.

They released the recent ‘Rainbow Child’ album in the summer of 2021, created “in response to the heightened pain and injustice Black lives have been facing”.

The year prior to this saw their virtual global tour, and the duo have worked with names such as Childish Gambino, Disclosure and Pharrell Williams since 2014.
