Recorded, Mixed, and Mastered by IMAKEMADBEATS at Dirty Socks Studios, Memphis, TN.

In a culture inundated with oversharing and instant gratification, the practice of subtlety and quiet confidence is something of a lost art. But like any great performer, IMAKEMADBEATS knows it’s better to show and not tell. With his aptly titled instrumental project Better Left Unsaid, the Memphis-based music producer puts on a masterclass in evoking harrowing emotions and bringing his beautifully dark visions to life. The EP is available everywhere music is available for streaming and download, courtesy of IMAKEMADBEATS’ Unapologetic. label. 

Cinematic and grandiose in its sound and scope, Better Left Unsaid  seamlessly skates between the worlds of electronic, hip hop, jazz, and downtempo, calling to mind the classic work of similar masterminds like DJ Shadow and Flying Lotus. The menacing “Mother Sang To Us” fuses a neck-snapping drum break to hauntingly sorrowful sung vocals, while “Neon Lift Off” – featuring frequent collaborator and Prince bassist Mono Neon – is a spastic bounce-laden dream sequence of a listen. Created entirely in IMAKEMADBEATS’ Dirty Socks Studios (the most in-demand independent studio in Memphis), Better Left Unsaid also comes with a “Mother Sang To Us” comic book and an  IMAKEMADBEATS flash drive containing exclusive additional music, an IMAKEMADBEATS video game, video content, and more. The project’s release also coincides with the Unapologetic App, which will provide fans worldwide the ability to connect with the collective’s artists and projects in new and innovative ways.

IMAKEMADBEATS - Mother Sang To Us

Sometimes I want to talk to someone, but I feel like my life is way too good. This is a compilation of fragmented conversations I haven't had. 

Thank God for art.

Almost Everyday

I made this beat years ago and I called it shoot called "Shoot". Then, Bloc Boy JB came out with his song 'Shoot' and I felt like it was destined for me to combine our two songs.

My guest for episode 83 is the founder and CEO of Unapologetic Record Label, James Dukes aka IMAKEMADBEATS.  Raised by a single father in Orange Mound, James knew at a very young age that he was different.  He later moved to New York where he sharpened his skills as a sound engineer at the legendary Quad Studios working with music industry stars like Ludacris, Solange Knowles, and Busta Rhymes. After returning to Memphis, James developed the enigmatic, faceless persona IMAKEMADBEATS and started his music label Unapologetic to include a record label, video production company, event coordination, and clothing line.  On this episode, you will learn about his talented roster, his ideas on the Memphis art/music/culture scene and his own experience with battling depression and anxiety. Performing this past February as a TedEx speaker, find out what secrets he had to set free in order to start his Unapologetic Movement.
