It’s once again time for BET to honor hip-hop’s best rappers, performers, producers, DJs and more with the 2016 BET Hip-Hop Awards. While the 10th annual show was already taped on Sept. 17 at Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre in Atlanta, the network will air the ceremony on Oct. 4 at 8 p.m. EDT.

It should come as no surprise that Drake leads all nominees with 14 nominations. It’s the “Controlla” rapper’s third year in a row leading the nominations. The rapper is up for some of the show’s biggest awards including Lyricist of the Year, Album of the Year and Track of the Year. One of the night’s other major awards is Best New Hip-Hop Artist. Anderson .Paak, Bryson Tiller, Chance The Rapper, Desiigner and Tory Lanez will all be competing for the award.
