Producer IMAKEMADBEATS is at it once again. On the new track, “How Is Your Soul,” from the forthcoming dual-EP concept album Daylight/Nightlight, the beat-maker enlists rapper Butta Verses to lend his emcee-skills. The EP, which is the first music the producer has released since 2009’s The Transcontinental, his collaborative project with Roc C, is in preparation for his self-titled debut on Doxside Music Group, set for release in early 2011. Though the nature of the collaborations may differ, still present is IMAKEMADBEATS’ scientific approach to music, with every detail and nuance carefully thought out and in its rightful place.

Though the song features a relatively lighthearted cameo from TzariZM as “Reverend TZ,” the subject matter is decidedly more introspective. “We wanted to just let them know how we felt about ourselves,” IMAKEMADBEATS explains. Lines like “I’m gonna search for the truth ’till I find what I’m lookin’ for / Everything I’ve found so far just make me look more,” over an organ-heavy beat and the words of the aforementioned “Reverend,” carry a message without preaching an agenda. “How Is Your Soul” is about asking questions and the result is a startlingly personal first look into IMAKEMADBEATS’ newest project.

Keep an eye out for the free Daylight/Nightlight split-EP, out soon, and IMAKEMADBEATS, out January 18th, 2011.

The Background:

IMAKEMADBEATS has built his reputation on an obsessive dedication to his craft and a mad scientist-like approach to tweaking samples, drums, and live instruments – proving himself to be both a rapper’s producer and a producer’s producer. Most people first became aware of IMAKEMADBEATS from his 2009 collaborative project The Transcontinental with Oxnard rhyme-slinger Roc C (a project that featured the likes of Oh No, Big Pooh, Rakaa Iriscience, and Chino XL), which subsequently led to the nationwide Smash Mouf Tour. In addition to the much-anticipated forthcoming Doxside Music Group self-titled debut, IMAKEMADBEATS is also unleashing his dual-EP concept album Daylight/Nightlight, featuring Butta Verses and MidaZ the Beast respectively. Also in the works are projects with Beretta 9 (Wu-Tang’s Killarmy), his BlakOut album with MidaZ, an instrumental project, and more placements on projects by artists seeking the “IMAKEMADBEATS” treatment to their music.
