Since debuting in 2023, LION has made waves in the industry as they have amassed thousands of monthly listeners and cemented themselves as a creative force to be reckoned with.
Roaring percussion and seductive melody make ‘MITMITA’ a sensational track that demands attention. The unforgiving rhythm pulls no punches throughout the track’s three minute runtime.

The sonic forces behind the track is incredible, as they set out to fuse their identities and become a voice for the voiceless. Joining forces with Dope Saint Jude, LION’s command of the soundwaves cements the pair as unwavering voices of the LGBTQIA+ community for the next generation.
Speaking about the track, LION discusses “Mitmita is my Ethiopian Mother’s go-to seasoning, so having it as the focal point of this song feels connective as we are here to spice things up by celebrating and supporting members of our Queer BIPOC global community” with Dope Saint Jude adding “we are committed to creating spaces where our diverse experiences are acknowledged and our identities are honoured … Through music and advocacy, we strive to inspire change and foster a sense of belonging and pride within our community.”
