Hotline Bling” remixes seem to be everywhere on the interweb, with many artists wanting to put their own unique spin on Drake’s massive hit. We’ve heard countless covers of the song ourselves, but none quite like South African artist Kimosabe’s take. On “Hotline Bling (Kimosabe’s Acapella Remix),” the singer, producer and rapper shares a delicately stripped-down version of the 80s-inspired tune. Kimosabe adds layers of crisp vocals to Drake’s lyrics and lays them atop a rhythmic, beatbox drum loop—giving the song a charming barbershop quartet feel. The acapella rendition manages to stand out in the endless sea of “Hotline Bling” remixes. Check it out below.
