At the beginning of the month, Badu told The Fader that she didn't even know if Drake had heard her remix, but she says that they're good friends. From the looks of it, Drake didn't have anything to do this mixtape, but I imagine that he would be a fan. His name is Aubrey Davis, and you can find him on Soundcloud. But the Dallas-bred singer and songwriter didnt limit herself to R&B nicknamed the Godmother of Soul, throughout her musical career her style has ranged from funk to neo-soul, hip hop, and jazz.
So it looks like there's another Aubrey out there who might give Aubrey Graham a run for his money. Erykah Badu first went from artist to superstar when her debut album, Baduizm, won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Album in 1997. When asked if it was Drake on BYCUMP, Badu revealed the hilarious truth: It’s not Drake. Kennedy of the LA Times, however, Badu revealed that the Drake-sounding person in the mixtape is not in fact Drake. There is someone who sounds a lot like Drake in the songs "You Use To Call Me" and "What's Yo Phone Number/Telephone," and Drake is no stranger to Badu and her family (and not afraid to namedrop her in his songs). Many who listen to it will wonder what Drake's involvement in the album was, or whether he's a featured artist, which is not a crazy speculation to make. It then builds on this with lots of phone-related covers and an appearance from Badu's ex Andre 3000 on the final track. Obviously, the mixtape includes Badu's remix of "Hotline Bling" that she released a month ago, and which - fun fact - contains Badu's real voicemail message. The mixtape is all about phones, texting, and phone calls, and many of the songs feature callbacks to Drizzy's most recent hit. Badu killed that track (in a good way) by remixing it, adding her own style, and even adding a bit of Roy Ayers and Bill Duke type of musical arrangements/effects to it toward the end when she mellowed the song out. Badu puts her spin on 'Hotline Bling,' quotes 'Tyrone,' and appends a 'ghost of Screw' mix of 'Telephone' to one of the. In a new release built around her "Hotline Bling" remix, Erykah Badu's new mixtape But You Caint Use My Phone has Drake written all over it. This is really about what our girl, Erykah Badu, did to his new highly popular Hotline Bling song. Prompted by Drake 's 'Hotling Bling,' Erykah Badu quickly recorded this loose, phone-themed mixtape, an official Motown release, with help from producer and fellow Dallas dweller Zach Witness.
