Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by Gabriel Teodros, host of EARLY on KEXP, is "Beautiful Mind (feat. Oddisee)" by Ciscero, a 2021 single on We Are Not The Same.
They don't give a fuck about us /
They're not feeling what we say /
“They don’t give no fuck about us /
'cause we come from 'round the way”
On "Beautiful Mind," two emcees from Prince George's County, Maryland team up to reflect on where they're from and how they rise above. The soulful, sun-drenched single features production by Tee-WaTT, Latrell James, J.Robb, with guest violinist April George adding a melancholy touch.
The accompanying music video, directed by Adam Hahn, juxtaposes images of Ciscero and his crew with shots of children playing in the street. Watch below.
