Drake has a nod for 2Certified Lover Boy“, while Kanye is up for ”Donda“, and they will go up against Latto’s ”777“, Future’s ”I Never Liked You“, Pusha T record ”It’s Almost Dry“, Nas album ”King’s Disease II“ and Kendrick Lamar’s ”Mr. Morale and The Big Steppers“.

Aside from Kanye and Drake dominating the nods, the Best Duo or Group category will see 42 Dugg and Est Gee, Big Sean and Hit-Boy, Birdman and Youngboy Never Broke Again, Blxst and Bino Rideaux, DaBaby and Youngboy Never Broke Again, Erthgang, and Styles P and Havoc, battle it out.
