By Ni'Kesia Pannell on Nov 27, 2015

The month of the Badu.

With the 2015 Soul Train Awards just a few days away, host Erykah Badu is back on the music scene with her first full length project since 2010. Dropping her well awaited new mixtape But You Caint Use My Phone (a play on her 1997 hit “Tyrone”), Ms. Badu is here to remind you just why she’s so respected in the game.

Featuring her remix to Drake’s “Hotline Bling” – which has been renamed “Cell U Lar Device” – and “Phone Down,” Erykah boasts an 11-track mixtape that will have you begging for a new album right now. Joined by Drake on “U Use to Call Me” and ex-beau André 3000 on “Hello,” Badu gives us a great follow-up to New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh).

But U Caint Use My Phone is available to download exclusively on iTunes and steaming via Apple Music for one week. It will be availalbe on remaining streaming partners and digital retailers December 4.
