The Florida teen put a unique spin on Drake's hit song, surprising his fellow shoppers at a department store. DeWayne Crocker Jr., 19, and his three friends were at Walmart when they suddenly broke out in song in the middle of the store.

Walking through different aisles, they sang a gospel version of the famous R&B hit. Amazed at the talent of the teenagers, shoppers clapped and cheered as the Pensacola native sang and hit all the high notes impressively, harmonizing with his equally talented friends.

Crocker, who has been performing since he was 13, was found by Inside Edition, and he revealed that he and his friends usually sing in public to let other people know more about their religion. He also said that he put his own spin on the song after he heard a different version while browsing on YouTube.

According to the teen, the song was an internet sensation at the time, thus making it easy for them to create their own version of it. Their "Hotline Bling Challenge" turned out to be one of the most successful out there, especially since three years after it was done, it is still making viral rounds on the internet.
