Just in time for the new year, the nominees for the second annual Athens Hip Hop Awards have been announced.

Nominees in the Best Male Hip Hop Artist category include Tony B, Yung'N Restless, Big Body and Dictator. The female list includes Cassie Chantel, Miss Unyque, Chrismis and more.
The entire list can be found here, where you can also place your vote. Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony, which takes place on Sunday, Feb. 23 at a location TBD Saturday, Feb. 15 at the Morton Theatre .
