The first ever Official Malaysian Hip Hop Awards is finally here.
In the DIY spirit of Hip Hop Culture, The MoveMint and Bite Media have embarked on a mission to commemorate and award members of the Malaysian Hip Hop Community for their contributions.
The MY Hip Hop Awards is a celebration of independence and intends to give back to a proud and talented arts scene.
The awards ceremony is scheduled to be held at the end of November 2013 and is expected to draw in some of the most respected and talented Hip Hop acts of the nation.
“It's about time we recognized members of Malaysia's Hip Hop community and in doing so create an awards that can live on and honor the different elements of Hip Hop culture here in Malaysia.

Over the past 10 years I've had the chance to witness the Malaysian Hip Hop scene grow and develop into it's own. With so much hard work and dedication by members of the scene, we also realized that this input was going unrecognized by the mainstream awards already in existence, who's main focus seems bent on an artists commercial success or popularity, rather than skill and dedication to their artistic craft.
Through proper recognition we hope to unearth and expose new talents and create a climate of creativity to uplift the Malaysian Hip Hop scene and strengthen its core foundation.” said Jason Vandal, CEO of The MoveMint and the founder MY Hip Hop Awards.
Submissions for MY Hip Hop Awards will begin on September 23rd, 2013 and the closing deadline will be on the 10th of October, 2013.
