Drake's "Hotline Bling" is officially his biggest hit since "Best I Ever Had," and naturally, it's inspired a share of remixes. Surprisingly, rather than the usual legion of struggle rappers that generally flock to "hot" instrumentals, Drizzy's latest has inspired some inspired new takes on the track. 

While it's hard to top Erykah Badu's simple but extremely effective transformation, Mila (formerly Mila J) has now shared yet another interesting rework of the record. BC Kingdom, who worked with Mila on her most recent EP, completely reconstruct the beat, replacing the sample with some glossy synths. Meanwhile, Mila sticks to the original pretty faithfully, before interpolating B.G.'s "Bling Bling" toward the end of the record.

Quotable lyrics:
You used to call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
'Cause I know when that hotline bling
It can only mean one thing
