Stars We Lost in 2014

2014 has been a great year complete with good music, innovative artists and wild surprises. However, it’s also the same year in which we lost a number of lauded musical creators and respected public figures. These stars not only made a name for themselves in their respective careers but also impacted the worlds of hip-hop and R&B in many ways.
