Spearheaded by enigmatic producer IMAKEMADBEATS, the Unapologetic collective formed not just as a label, but as a defiant creative movement \u2014 a safehouse for artists who didn\u2019t quite fit the mold. Over the next decade, voices like rapper Preauxx, experimental polymath Kid Maestro, and the fearless A Weirdo From Memphis (AWFM) helped to shape Unapologetic\u2019s signature blend of next-level showmanship, sonic experimentation, and genre-blurring performances. Whether throwing DIY shows in Downtown warehouses or scoring ballets and documentaries, the label has pushed Memphis music forward \u2014 loudly, weirdly, and without compromise. Before the collective takes the opportunity to take a well-deserved victory lap with an anniversary party on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/177iCoUp9e\/\">August 16th at Memphis Made Brewing<\/a>, we wanted to celebrate with 10 of our favorite Unapologetic moments and releases from the past decade\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\"><strong>The \u201cStuntarious\u201d Series<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/10-Years-of-1-1024x1024-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/10-Years-of-1-1024x1024-1.webp 1024w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/10-Years-of-1-1024x1024-1-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/10-Years-of-1-1024x1024-1-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/10-Years-of-1-1024x1024-1-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/10-Years-of-1-1024x1024-1-800x800.webp 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If there were a cheat code to understand what Unapologetic stands for as succinctly as possible, it would be the Stuntarious series, five mixtapes released at various points throughout the years. Launched in the early days of the label, these collaborative mixtapes became semi-annual checkpoints of the collective\u2019s evolution \u2014 chaotic, confident, and creatively unhinged. Blending trap, punk, R&amp;B, spoken word, and experimental electronics, each Stuntarious release acts as both a time capsule and a manifesto.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\"><strong>Unexpected Collaborations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"590\" src=\"https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frame-24.png.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frame-24.png.webp 950w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frame-24.png-300x186.webp 300w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frame-24.png-768x477.webp 768w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frame-24.png-800x497.webp 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, Ballet Memphis invited Unapologetic to participate in their fall program with an inspired blending of ballet and hip-hop, marking the beginning of a remarkable series of unconventional collaborations. Since then, the collective has partnered with a wide range of organizations beyond the music scene, including the PGA Tour, Memphis International Airport, and local cultural institutions like the Metal Museum and the Memphis Zoo. Whether or not it seemed to make sense on paper, each collab has proven to be a resounding success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\"><strong>Indie Memphis Block Party<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of partnerships, in 2019 Unapologetic curated a raucous Indie\u202fMemphis Film Festival block party that transformed the family-friendly Overton Square area into a high-brow, politically-tinged showcase that would make Kendrick Lamar proud. For those who were lucky enough to be there, the performance cemented the label\u2019s reputation for high-concept DIY events in the starkest terms possible. One could argue that the group has outdone themselves since, but there\u2019s nothing quite like your first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\"><strong>The Unapologetic World App<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Launched in 2017, the Unapologetic World App was an early sign that the label simply wasn\u2019t interested in playing by industry rules. Designed as a digital home for everything Unapologetic (music, visuals, films, interviews, live streams, and exclusive content), the app has remained a reliable one-stop-shop for dedicated fans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\"><strong>Unapologetic Garments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Gk1ZyohXAAAh3OD-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31064\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Gk1ZyohXAAAh3OD-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Gk1ZyohXAAAh3OD-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Gk1ZyohXAAAh3OD-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Gk1ZyohXAAAh3OD-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Gk1ZyohXAAAh3OD-800x1000.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Gk1ZyohXAAAh3OD.jpg 1638w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After making waves in music, art, and digital media, it was only natural that Unapologetic would dive into fashion with Unapologetic Garments. Since its launch, the label has emphasized original design, quality craftsmanship, and community storytelling, offering everything from graphic tees and hoodies to limited-edition merch that blends art and fashion. Their 2024 collaboration with the Memphis Grizzlies marked a milestone\u2014bringing their signature aesthetic to a wider audience through the \u201cGold Collection,\u201d a line that captured the city\u2019s grit and pride while celebrating Memphis\u2019 sports culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\"><strong>The Opening of Outerspace<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Desk1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Desk1-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Desk1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Desk1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Desk1-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Desk1-2048x1366.webp 2048w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Desk1-800x533.webp 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In November 2022, Unapologetic celebrated the grand opening of Outerspace, their new studio nestled in the heart of Midtown. The studio acted as a physical manifestation of both the label\u2019s meteoric growth and the bright future that they envisioned. Visually stunning and meticulously planned, Outerspace isn\u2019t just a studio\u2014it\u2019s a sonic launchpad, designed to foster collaboration, vulnerability, and the boundary-pushing ethos that defines Unapologetic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\"><strong>A Weirdo from Memphis\u2019 Gonerfest Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AWFM-and-PREAUXXX-by-Laura-Jean-Hocking-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AWFM-and-PREAUXXX-by-Laura-Jean-Hocking-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AWFM-and-PREAUXXX-by-Laura-Jean-Hocking-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AWFM-and-PREAUXXX-by-Laura-Jean-Hocking-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AWFM-and-PREAUXXX-by-Laura-Jean-Hocking-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AWFM-and-PREAUXXX-by-Laura-Jean-Hocking-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AWFM-and-PREAUXXX-by-Laura-Jean-Hocking.jpg 1950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\">Photo by Laura Jean Hocking<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over its two-decade run, Gonerfest has seen its share of unforgettable sets from punk and garage heavyweights like Jay Reatard, Ty Segall, and King Khan. But even the most seasoned festivalgoers were caught off guard by A Weirdo From Memphis\u2019 wildly unhinged\u2014and undeniably electric\u2014performance in 2022. By the time he scaled the stage at Railgarten, any lingering hip-hop skeptics in the crowd had been thoroughly won over by the beautiful chaos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\"><strong>Midnight Marauder Series<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/8.jpg-1024x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/8.jpg-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/8.jpg-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/8.jpg-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/8.jpg-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/8.jpg-800x800.webp 800w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/8.jpg.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Last year, Unapologetic introduced a new series at MOSH called Midnight Marauder (shouts to ATCQ!). Designed as a public celebration of beat culture, the series highlights producers, beatmakers, and electronic artists as performers in their own right. Unlike traditional beat battles, Midnight Marauder centers on musical expression and live performance. As IMAKEMADBEATS put it, \u201cThis is not a beat battle, it\u2019s a beat performance.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\"><strong>IMAKEMADBEATS Releases <em>WANDS<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/imakemadbeats-wands-Cover-Art.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31101\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/imakemadbeats-wands-Cover-Art.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/imakemadbeats-wands-Cover-Art-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/imakemadbeats-wands-Cover-Art-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Strictly as a piece of music, IMAKEMADBEATS&#8217; 2024 release <em>WANDS<\/em> is a landmark release for the label&#8211;abrooding, richly textured instrumental project that showcases his signature ability to evoke emotion without a single lyric.
