Legendary Hip Hop artist LL Cool J has been tapped to host next month's "Grammy Nominations Concert Live!" for the second year in a row.

In an announcement from CBS, it was revealed that the rapper, who has two Grammys of his own, will preside over the Dec. 2 event at Club NOKIA.

The concert will air live as a one-hour program. Acts slated to perform include The Black Eyed Peas, Sugarland and Maxwell.

The 52nd annual Grammy Awards will be handed out on Jan. 31 at the STAPLES Center during a ceremony, also to air live on CBS.

LL's Grammys came in 1991 and in 1996, both for "Best Rap Solo Performance" - the former for "Mama Said Knock You Out" from the album of the same name, and the latter for "Hey Lover" from Mr. Smith.
