Lil Wayne and Drake have both been nominated for a Woodie at the 2015 MTVU Woodie Awards, which are taking place next Friday on March 20th. You may also remember that Tune performed at last year’s awards show.

The award that the Young Money rappers are nominated for is a “Next Level Performance Woodie”. This celebrates artists that search for new ways to reach their audience through technology, art, and social media. Check out why they was nominated below:

“In a truly tech-savvy move, Drake and Lil Wayne teamed up on an app for their joint tour that allowed fans in the audience to decide which of the hip-hop heavyweights would perform first.”

Drizzy is currently in Europe on his “Would You Like A Tour?“, so he could not attend the awards show that took place on March 13th at the SXSW Music Festival in Austin, Texas, but his Young Money boss was sure to take home the award for him with the following message:

“Wassup? This is the “Woodie Of The Year”. Cannot be more motherfuckin’ happier for my man Drizzy, you already know. Congratulations to Drizzy. OVO, Young Money, Cash Money, this is the “Woodie Of The Year”. Thank you all, MTVU Woodie Awards, holla!”
