The BET Hip-Hop Awards is quickly approaching and artist and fans alike are biting their fingers wondering who's taking home one of this years trophies. With new artist emerging on the scene almost every year the nominees start to change and look different over time. This year we see some new names in the nominee line up like "Da Baby" from Charlotte North Carolina. With 18 categories this year for the awards lets begin with all of the nominees.

Cardi B leads the Hip-Hop Awards with 10 nominations, following her is Travis Scott, Dj Khaled and J. Cole with 8. Drake also has a rack of nominees coming in with 7 and the final one that will leave fans ecstatic is Nipsey Hussle who was nominated for 5 awards.

This year the best new artist award line up is tight and we personally wonder who's taking this trophy home because its out of Blueface, Roddy Ricch, Lil Nas X, Megan Thee Stallion, YBN Cordae and DaBaby. All have had a great year but there can only be one winner!

The show airs on October 8th, on the BET Network.
