Erykah Badu will release her first mixtape next month, under the name DJ Lo Down Loretta Brown.

We don’t know too much about the mixtape, but it will be both mixed and produced by Badu, and according to claims at a recent live show, “will melt any DJ’s face off” and represents more of a “dance project” than what fans are used to.

Badu has been DJing at various Stateside shows recently under the Loretta Brown alias; colour us intrigued as to how this side of her will sound.

And you never know, maybe Flying Lotus will be involved.
