Sometimes when you’re having a bad afternoon the karma gods come and place little treats in your life to let you know that all is well. This happened to me yesterday, I was coming down with a fever and feeling some type of way when I saw a tweet from @blkgirlstalking with a link to a remix of a certain song I listened to about 50 times yesterday and it pepped me the f-up!

The remix is of Drake’s Summer hit,  “Hotline Bling” and it’s by the ALWAYS amazing, Erykah Badu. “Hotline Bling But You Caint Use My Phone Mix” is in anticipation of Badu’s upcoming mixtape, BUT U CAINT USE MY PHONE. This is definitely something you need to shove in your ear holes and zone out to. Both versions of this song are good in their own regard, but I am really digging Badu’s version a little more. They’re both smokey and sultry at the same time, but at least Badu’s version has a more enamored vibe to it and WAY less judgey.

“Its referential and derivative, but she puts her unique voice and tone to transform it into something you should hear no matter how familiar you are with the Drake one. She owns this version of the song as if it were hers originally” – deezy hamilton’s more articulate review

Bottom line: this track is great for when you’re lifted and in that netflix & chill kinda mood. (via @blkgirlstalking & @missinfo.tv & @highsnobiety)
