Beauty and the Beast is the second EP released by hip hop artist Rapsody.

On September 9, 2014, Rapsody announced her latest project on Instagram with the release date of October 7, 2014, along with a picture of the artwork.

HipHopDX reviewer Marcus Dowling called it "a stellar take on her strengths", albeit one that does not "experiment enough with her delivery to truly carry Jamla's searing production.

"[6] Justin Charity from Complex regarded the EP as "a work of brute strength and self-determination.

"[5] In Vice, Robert Christgau called it an "underground rap manifesto as genuinely worthwhile endeavor", citing "Hard to Choose" and "The Man" as highlights.
