The album met with critical and commercial success, debuting at number two on the Billboard charts and number one on the US Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Sorry, Drake, but until you drop another mixtape with Future, I’ll just be over here, listening to Erykah’s remix on repeat.Baduizm, Badu's debut album, was released in early 1997. Badu is still the reigning queen of neo-soul and she can do no wrong with that dreamy, sultry voice of hers.
