Aberdeen Producer Vagrant Real Estate Needs Your Vote
He's been nominated for Best Hip-Hop at this year's Scottish Alternative Music Awards
Today we have a request for you. Our friend Vagrant Real Estate has been nominated for Best Hip Hop at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards, with public voting open funtil 5pm tomorrow (20th November). It only takes a moment to vote, but it could mean bringing a national title home to Aberdeen.
Building Aberdeen's Sound Since 2018, Vagrant Real Estate has been crafting beats that have caught the attention of Ministry of Sound and BBC Radio 1. His work spans collaborations with grime pioneer Wiley and Roll Deep's Manga Saint Hilare, while racking up millions of streams across platforms. The Scotsman named him Artist of the Week, while BBC Radio Scotland marked him as one of their Top 25 Artists to Watch.
This summer's EP with Renelle 893, "Summer Ends When I Say," shows exactly why he deserves our vote, blending funk and soul into something fresh and distinctly Aberdeen. The five-track release brings warmth to these darker days, showcasing the creative production that's earned him coverage from i-D Magazine to Hypebeast.
The voting window is short - and closes tomorrow - but the impact could be significant. As Vagrant Real Estate prepares to take his sound on tour across the UK, joining Namebliss for shows from Glasgow to London, he's proving that great music knows no boundaries. With recognition from BBC Radio 1, 6 Music, and 1Xtra already highlighting his talent, this award would be a well-deserved milestone in his growing musical journey. By taking a moment to vote, we can support an artist who's carving out a unique path in the national music scene.
This vote could help bring more recognition to Aberdeen's music scene, and add another achievement to Vagrant Real Estate's journey that's already seen millions of streams and national radio play. Take a moment to cast your vote and help put Aberdeen's hip-hop scene in the spotlight it deserves.
