"This page is mine, I read the lines, and would refine nothing at all."
Written and produced by Toronto based emcee, Xolisa (pronounced koh-lee-sah), "A Beautiful Mind" stands as the lead single off of the emcee's debut EP that bares the same title, released in 2013.
The single represents the emcee's journey of acceptance of herself and the workings of her mind, while unapologetically asking listeners through a snippet of the 1962 speech by the late Malcolm X, "Who Taught You To Hate Yourself?" - challenging listeners to learn to see themselves as enough.
