Erykah Badu‘s new mixtape, But You Caint Use My Phone, is out now on Apple Music. The follow-up to 2010’s New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh features a guest appearance from André 3000 on “Hello”. The mixtape doesn’t appear on Badu’s artist page, but you can hear it by searching “But You Caint Use My Phone” in Apple Music or iTunes.
The title of the mixtape is a reference to Badu’s 1997 track “Tyrone”. According to a press release, “each song makes reference to telephones and our own reliance on staying inter-connected.” Badu recorded the project with producer Zach Witness in Dallas.
At the beginning of October, Badu dropped “HOTLINE BLING BUT U CAINT USE MY PHONE MIX”, a remix of Drake‘s “Hotline Bling”. It appears on But You Caint Use My Phone under its new title, “Cel U Lar Device”. The mixtape also features the previously-shared “Phone Down”.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story stated that the mixtape featured an appearance by Drake on the song “U Use to Call Me”. Badu’s team has confirmed that it’s actually rapper ItsRoutine on the track. He’s also on “What’s Yo Phone Number”.
