About Preauxx:
PreauXX (pronounced “pro”) is one of the foremost artists of our time and a rising name in the hip-hop scene. Born in New Orleans, LA and raised in Memphis, PreauXX’s charming charisma and aggressive wordplay gained him a local notoriety that exploded after enrolling in the University of Memphis in 2008.
With a positive message aimed at inspiring listeners to seek the most out of life, PreauXX’s music began opening doors at a rapid pace at the university and locally throughout Memphis. After teaming with producers Alexander Odell and IMAKEMADBEATS and releasing two mixtapes (2010’s To Kill A Mockingbird and 2011’s Love Jones), PreauXX dropped out of college to pursue his career in music.
He was granted the honor of performing at Elvis Presley's house in Memphis, TN. This made him the first hip hop artist to ever perform in the Presley Estate. His blend of melody and motivational lyricism forged a unique sonic quality to his artistry and has lead to him being featured in a number of publications like Nice Kicks, Memphis Flyer, and Jam in the Van.
Preauxx made waves with his undeniable ability to blend singing and rapping seamlessly, drawing comparisons to artists like Drake and Smino. His malleable style fits over any track with songs like “Slide,” “Shake Junt,” and “Lemon Sugar” showcasing his versatile skill set.
Preauxx’s charismatic personality extends far beyond just the world of music, the multitalented artist also serves as a model and brand ambassador for a multitude of brands thanks to his magnetic energy.
About Unapologetic:
Unapologetic. is a brand based in inspiring others to be boldly, daringly, and unapologetically themselves. We aim to disrupt. We aim to ease. We also aim to build discomfort when necessary, through art. Our art is our voices, sounds, illustrations, perspectives, event, and experiences. It is unapologetically our lives.
While most known for its music & record label portions, Unapologetic. is an art & culture ecosystem consisting of visual artists, musicians, clothing designers, event coordinators, and strategists. The idea is simple: the idea of traditional “labels” has expired and we believe in the culture of artistic synergy. Founded by artist/producer IMAKEMADBEATS in 2015 in Memphis, TN, the talented team tours the globe throwing experience based events and has been featured in major publications, from Garden & Gun to Huffpost to Thrasher and beyond. Our artists release whatever they create, as we believe our genre of art is simply Vulnerability and Sincerity. We currently sign musicians and visual artists to an artist-first platform and are preparing for our book publishing division to launch summer 2021. Unapologetic. has changed the landscape of Memphis art & culture and after securing a partnership with Red Bull the conglomerate is now expanding into international territory. We are comprised of four teams: Unapologetic. Sound, Unapologetic. Visual, Unapologetic. Garments, and The Unapologetic World App.
