Leave it to Erykah Badu to be among the first to step up to the plate to remix Kanye West’s recently-dropped, ‘Real Friends.’ Being apart of his recently revived G.O.O.D. Friday music drop, Kanye was met with rave reviews due to just how great ‘Real Friends’ turned out to be and he easily resurged any lacking excitement for his forthcoming studio album, SWISH. Not too long after the release of her mixtape, But You Caint Use My Phone,’ it’s evident that inspiration to hop back into the recording booth surrounds Erica has she drops off her own unique spin of Kanye’s ‘Real Friends.’ Noting how we all have had those “friends” that we wish to have never known, Erykah Badu lets her smooth vocals glide over the peaceful production as she introduces a new feeling with the track. If Erykah’s ‘Trill Friends’ remix is causing you to wish for new music, Ms. Badu has made note that she is readying a new mixtape, THIS $h!t TOO EASY. Starting 2016 off just as strong as she ended 2015, Erykah Badu means business and is evidently in a major creative space. With no complaints from us, let the creative juices flow. Take a listen to Erykah’s ‘Real Friends’ remix, below.
