McRoy & Vagrant Real Estate - 25/26 (New Single)

‘25/26’ is the new single from rising Scottish talents McRoy and Vagrant Real Estate. McRoy reflects on life in the harsh reality of poverty in Scotland, struggling to get by and stay on the right side of the law. Melancholy production from Vagrant Real Estate underscores McRoy's bars, illustrating paranoia and desperation, effortlessly switching rhyme schemes and flows as he talks frankly about the catch 22’s of drug addiction, crime and hustling to get by.

McRoy is a Paisley-based emcee who across a handful of releases and freestyles has amassed a cult following in his home country, widely recognised by fans and peers alike as one of the best in the scene. Through unflinching tracks like ‘Hardman Talk’ and ‘Outlaw’, McRoy has gained hundreds of thousands of streams across platforms with little to no mainstream support or radio play, where fans have instantly connected with his effortless flow and intricate rhyme schemes. Most recently he was featured on DJ Prospect's ‘Scotland Cypher‘ on GRM Daily alongside the heavyweights of the scene including Ransom FA, Shogun and Oakzy B, cementing his status among the top of his game, and also supported RA The Ruggedman at his recent Glasgow tour date.

Vagrant Real Estate is an Aberdeen-based producer, and has received notable coverage from the likes of Ministry of Sound, DJ Mag and i-D Magazine. He was also named as one of Vic Galloway’s (BBC Radio Scotland) Top 25 Artists To Watch in 2021, and comes off the back of producing for Edinburgh dark pop act Misty Galactic, highlighting his versatility and depth as a producer. His last full length instrumental album ‘SWEETHEARTGRIPS’ saw wide ranging support from BBC Radio Jazz Nights, UKHH and front page coverage on Aberdeen's The Press And Journal newspaper.
