Rapper Kendrick Lamar nabbed a whopping 11 nominations for the 2016 Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year for To Pimp a Butterfly. The Weeknd and Drake also scored multiple nominations as well.

The Weeknd received seven mentions, including Best Urban Contemporary for his stellar effort, Beauty Behind the Madness. Fellow Canadian artist Drake racked up five nods, including one for Best Rap Performance for the song, "Back to Back." Drizzy also stays winning this year as "Energy" is nominated for Best Rap Song and If You're Reading This Its Too Late gets a nod in the Best Rap Album category.

D'Angelo and Nicki Minaj tied with three nominations each. Minaj didn't get a nod for "Feeling Myself" -- much to the disapproval of her fans -- but the Queen Barbz grabbed a nod for Best Rap Album with The Pinkprint, as well as "Truffle Butter" for Best Rap Performance. Meanwhile, D'Angelo's comeback album, Black Messiah, was nominated for Best R&B Album and his song, "Really Love," scored a nod for Record of the Year.

Lamar is facing some stiff competition in the Album of the Year category as he goes up against the Weeknd's Beauty Behind the Madness, Taylor Swift's 1989, Chris Stapleton's Traveller and Alabama Shakes' Sound & Color.

The 2016 Grammy Awards will air live from Los Angeles on Feb. 15 at 8PM ET on CBS.
