Erykah Badu has released her new mixtape, ‘But You Caint Use My Phone’.
The mixtape is follow-up to 2010’s ‘New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh’ and is an iTunes/Apple Music exclusive. It will be available via other digital services on December 4. ‘Hello’, a collaboration with Outkast’s Andre 3000, can be heard below.
The title of the mixtape is a reference to the last line on Badu’s 1997 track ‘Tyrone’ and each song references telephones in some way and “our own reliance on staying inter-connected.”

The mixtape also includes a remix of Drake’s ‘Hotline Bling’ titled ‘Cell U Lar Device’. Last year, Drake referenced going to Badu’s house in ‘Days In The East’, in the lines, “She made tea for me, we talked about love and what life could really be for me, she said, “when that shit is real, you just know”‘.
