8. Ty Dolla $ign

Wiz Khalifa is a smart man. Towards the beginning of 2014, the Taylor Gang general made one of his best business decisions by signing newcomer Ty Dolla $ign to the Taylor Gang imprint. Ty brings a different kind of energy and a unique style to the table, which is the epitome of Wiz’s career – constantly changing and constantly different. Ty had breakout hits with “Paranoid,” “Or Nah” and his Beach House EP was also one of the best projects of 2014. Ty broke out in a major way this year and it’ll be exciting to see what 2015 has in store for him.
