In true RuPaul's Drag Race champion fashion, Bob the Drag Queen has dropped a scorching new single to promote her latest project. The reality TV icon who wowed (and was Boston Robbed) on Traitors is releasing his first novel, Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert, later this month. But before this much-anticipated book drops on March 25, enjoy its tie-in song, "Queen of the Underground."

In the video above, Bob the Drag Queen channels Tubman for the lyrics and costume. Fans of Bob might remember from his appearance on Showtime's taboo-rattling talk show Ziwe, his high opinion of Tubman as a badass (who could totally beat Spider-Man in a face-off). Produced by PEG records, "Queen of the Underground" has Bob the Drag Queen laying down the incredible facts of Tubman's life and hands-on abolitionism with a amped-up anthem vibe.

But how does that connect to Bob's book?

Well, Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert imagines what would happen if this true legend of American history were to record her own album with the help of a once-heralded record producer. Hamil-who? This is the kind of inspired genre-bending fans have come to expect from Bob the Drag Queen, who can appear in full Maleficent-inspired drag while casually referencing To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything Love, Julie Newmar. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, treat yourself to Season 2 of Dimension 20's sassy spinoff, Dungeons and Drag Queens.

On top of being a wildly fun ride, that Dropout show will make the wait until Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert arrives go by a bit faster. Or hey, check to see if Bob is coming to a store near you on the book tour.
