Erykah Badu releases mix tape to save the world

Erykah Badu has been known to step behind the decks every so often, but rarely do her mixes make it to the web. Over the weekend, however, Dallas' resident diva uploaded a mix tape of music she hopes will help save the world.

To be clear, this isn't a DJ set of hers, but rather of a collection of inspiring R&B, old school funk, soul and jazz. Badu's note on Mixcloud reads:

"ALL OVER THE GLOBE...KEEP WALKING TALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS. SOMEDAY WE WILL ALL BE FREE. THE WORLD IS IN NEED OF HEALING.... I CAREFULLY AND LOVINGLY SELECTED HIGH FREQUENCY TONES FOR THE SOUL.... PLEASE LISTEN FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. LOVE, ms. badu"
