The 2017 Urban Music Awards nominees have been announced, with Stormzy, Dizzee Rascal and Wretch 32 leading the way with four nominations each.

Stormzy

Stormzy

The grime star and 'Bonkers' rapper will compete in the Best Music Video and Best Album categories as their singles for 'Big For Your Boots' and 'Space' and LPs 'Gang Signs & Prayer' and 'Raskit' have made the shortlists.

Wretch's third LP 'Growing Over Life' is also up for the Best Album accolade.

Stormzy, 24, also has the chance to land the prizes for Best Grime Act and Artist of the Year (UK).

Dizzee, 33, and Wretch, 32, are both up for the gongs for Best Single for 'Space' and 'Whistle' respectively and Best Male Act, while Wretch has also been named in the list for Best Hip Hop Act.

Dizzee's potential haul comes just one year after he was handed the Outstanding Achievement Award in recognition for his phenomenal career.

This year's ceremony will take place in London on November 30, and hip hop superstar Jay Z - who is nominated for Best International Act - has explained what makes the UMAs so special.

He said: "The​ ​Urban​ ​Music​ ​Awards​ ​was​ ​the​ ​first awards​ ​ceremony​ ​that​ ​said​ ​hey​ ​you​ ​the​ ​music​ ​fans​ ​you​ ​tell​ ​us​ ​what​ ​is​ ​popular​ ​not some​ ​academy​ ​of​ ​judges."

Wretch also praised the UMAs for the positive effect the ceremony has had on urban music all over the world.

The '6 Words' hitmaker said: "Most​ ​people​ ​don't​ ​quite​ ​understand​ ​how​ ​much​ ​of​ ​an​ ​impact​ ​the​ ​UMA's​ ​had​ ​on​ ​the scene​ ​today.​ ​The​ ​truth​ ​is​ ​without​ ​the​ ​Urban​ ​Music​ ​Awards,​ ​urban​ ​music​ ​will​ ​not​ ​be where​ ​it​ ​is​ ​today.​"
