Beautiful Mind is the fourth studio album by American rapper and singer Rod Wave, released on August 12, 2022, through Alamo Records.[3][4] The album features guest appearances from Jack Harlow and December Joy, alongside production from BSquared, DJ Fizzum Fade, Dmac, John Lam, KaiGoinKrazy, Karltin Bankz, LondnBlue, SephGotTheWaves, Tahj Money, TnTXD, Travis Harrington, Tre Gilliam, and several other producers.[5] The album serves as a follow-up to Green's third studio album, SoulFly (2021).[6]

Beautiful Mind received "generally favorable" reviews from music critics who applauded Green's singing voice and the "bitter honesty" of Green's description of his early life.[7] The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, marking Green's second consecutive number one on the chart.[8][9] It earned 115,000 album-equivalent units, of which 2,000 were pure album sales, and twelve of the twenty-four album tracks debuted on the Billboard Hot 100.[10][11] Green also surged to the peak of Billboard's Artist 100 chart, up eighty spots from the previous week.[12] The album was supported by four official singles: "By Your Side", "Cold December", "Stone Rolling", and "Alone".
