The nominations for the 2014 Grammy Awards were officially announced Friday night as LL Cool J helped reveal the nods during the star-studded live concert event and it appears that Jay-Z is still king.
The Brooklyn bred rapper/Beyonce's husband is ahead of the class with a whopping nine nominations, followed by notable artists like Justin Timberlake, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Pharrell Williams, and Kendrick Lamar, who each garnered seven apiece.
There were even a few surprise additions to this year's grouping as British musician James Blake, who nabbed a Best New Artist nom while singer-songwriter Sarah Bareilles is up for the coveted Album of the Year.
