We have about a month before the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards. On Tuesday (July 23), the nominees were revealed.

There are a number of hip-hop artists with multiple horses in the race in this year's event including the usual suspects. Cardi B, who has been hitting up the show circuit serious this summer, has earned four nominations in the categories of Artist of the Year, Best Pop, Best Hip-Hop and Best Dance.

Drake, who is working on new music following his Assassination Vacation Tour earlier this year, has three nominations for Song of the Year, Best Hip-Hop and Best Latin, as does Anderson .Paak.

It looks like the man of the night, however, could be newcomer Lil Nas X. The rapper and his star-studded visual for the smash hit "Old Town Road (Remix)" are up for eight nominations in the categories of Video of the Year, Song of the Year, Best New Artist, Best Collaboration, Best Hip-Hop, Best Direction, Best Editing and Best Art Direction. The Billboard-topping single recently tied the record for most consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The hip-hop category has some heavy competition with 2 Chainz's “Rule the World," 21 Savage's “A Lot," Cardi B's “Money,” DJ Khaled “Higher,” Lil Nas X's “Old Town Road (Remix)” and Travis Scott's “Sicko Mode” all battling it out.

The 36th edition of the award show will take place at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. on Aug. 26 at 8 p.m. EST.
