Your holidays just got hotter. On December 4, MTV2 will cap a monthlong celebration of hip-hop history month with the inaugural Sucker Free Awards. The show will take place at the historic LIV Fontainebleau in Miami Beach and will feature a special performance from YMCMB. It will air at 11 p.m. ET on MTV2 and be hosted by none other than MTV News' own Sway Calloway.

"Sucker Free Countdown," MTV2's longest-running franchise and #1 weekly hip-hop show, will work up to the awards program with a special "Countdown," "Sucker Free Daily" episodes and the second installment of "Sucker Free Road to Release" chronicling the journey of Maybach Music Group artist Wale.

The Sucker Free Awards will honor the year in hip-hop with a unique look back at the music, moments and personalities that made 2011 so memorable. Seven categories will be determined by a combination of online and social-media voting and tallies from tastemakers throughout the music and entertainment industry.

Among the most-nominated artists are Tyler, the Creator and his Odd Future crew, who have three nods, including Rookie of the Year, Best Crew of 2011 and Follow Me Like Twitter: The Must Follow Person in Social Media. The rookie category will find Tyler facing off against Big Sean, J. Cole and Wiz Khalifa, while the crew battle includes Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group, YMCMB, Slaughterhouse/Shady 2.0, G.O.O.D.
