One song, four remixes

Four remixes of Chali 2na's "How We Do". I like listening to remixes when they give different takes on the same theme. Here Chali has collaborated with four different stylists to get just that.
Of the four, I think the first two are clearly the best. The first one (Krafty Kuts & Dubra Remix) does a really good job of fronting the vocals - which are what I like about Chali the most - and giving it a really electro-funk feel without getting too much into the squeeps and bleeps that annoy me.
The second one (Balkan Bump Remix) is wildly different - so much that it's hard to compare to the other three. I love Balkan Bump in general and I've never heard them take on this kind of funk before. They do a decent job but I feel like the flow and the instrumentals aren't as well blended as I'd want. Essentially, the track has to fade one out to clear space for the other.
The other two are OK, but I wouldn't blog either on its own.
