The moment you’ve all been waiting for is here: the polls are closed and the winners are in for the 2014 Strange Music MVP Awards!

THE STRANGE MUSIC MVP OF 2014

RITTZ

Rittz earned himself the title of legitimate rap star with a year of excellence in 2014. With his album Next To Nothing, Rittz gave us an album arguably better than his first, with sales to back up the claim. The fact that an album with such cohesion, balance and depth was flying off the shelves was a great statement for hip hop and music in general. Aside from his album, the two tours he put in ensured that he got to connect with his ever-growing fanbase.

2014 only made it more clear that Rittz is in popular demand, and he shows no signs of stopping. Congratulations to the Gwinnett County emcee on being the Strange Music MVP of 2014!
