Sam Smith and grime dominate 2014 MOBO nominations
By Aly Barchi | Published on Wednesday 24 September 2014
This year’s MOBO nominations shortlist has been released, and, holy god, what a shortlist it is.
With the awards confirmed to take place in London for the first time since 2007, all the prizes will be presented on 22 Oct at the Wembley Arena. And hey, it’ll be the first time the grime genre will stand in a ‘Best Grime’ class of its own, instead of sharing an award with ‘Best Hip-Hop’, as it has in past years. We live in modern times.
Leading a noticeably man-dominated pack are London hip-hop pairing Krept & Konan and singing man-doll Sam Smith, who each have four noms; whilst FKA Twigs [a girl] and Tinie Tempah, Ghetts, Meridian Dan and Fuse ODG [not girls] have three chances to win apiece.
See/vote on the nominees here, and get tickets to the live ceremony, which will be shown on ITV 2 on 22 Oct, here.
