Future, Drake

What a time to be Drake and Future.

The BET Hip-Hop Award nominees have been announced and Drake and Future lead the pack with a combined 24 nominations. Drake beat out his longtime friend Future by four nominations, including “Album of the Year,” “MVP of the Year,” and “Track of the Year.”

Drake and Future will go head-to-head in the “Album of the Year” category with VIEWS and DS2 up for nomination. While Future follows behind Drake with 10 nominations, DJ Khaled and Kanye West are hot on his heels with nine and eight nominations respectively.

All the action is scheduled to go down at Atlanta’s Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre on Saturday, September 17. The award show will air three weeks later on October 4 at 8 p.m. EST.
