Nice N Sleazy

Hip-Hop in Aberdeen

HOURS are working with artists within Aberdeen and across Scotland to bolster the local scene, bringing acts together from a number of backgrounds and hometowns to perform in the best spaces available in the city.

HOURS brings a fresh new platform for hip-hop to Aberdeen - creating links with the city and the wider Scottish scene, and celebrating the versatility and diversity of creative output in Scotland.Chef is an emerging MC cooking up a storm with an eclectic sound showcasing an exceptional talent for skilled lyricism, in-depth storytelling and impactful punchlines in both his up-tempo and slowed down beats.Backed by Radio 1 as one of their Top Tips for 2022, Chef has found himself as one of the most prominent artists in the Scottish scene. With two Scottish Alternative Music Award nominations in 2021 and numerous features from platforms including BBC Radio Scotland, BBC Scotland’s TUNE, Link Up TV, Up2Stndrd, STV and CLASH Magazine, Chef has quickly established himself at the forefront of the new wave of Scottish rap. Following live performances throughout Summer 2022 including a festival slot at Edinburgh's Otherlands, his track “Find A Way” from his debut EP "The World Is Mine" earned Chef Track of the Week on BBC 1Xtra. “Scotland’s Finest” - BBC1XTRA “The King” - BBC Scotland “Key artist in a thriving scene” - Evening Express

Self styled as "Scotland's dark berry", A﻿iiTee is a R&B superstar in the making. Boasting two SAY Award shortlisted projects in as many years (2021's "Better Days" and 2020's "Love Don't Fall"), AiiTee's captivating stage presence is matched by the power of her voice, exemplified by her latest single "Confidence".Growing up in Aberdeen, AiiTee got her musical foundation through singing in her church choir, but it was seeing the success of Emeli Sandé (who also hails from the North East) which first led her to consider a career in music. Blending afrobeat, soul, gospel and R&B, AiiTee has garnered respectable coverage and airplay on BBC Radio Scotland and Amazing Radio, as well as a TV debut on Scottish music show Tune and the support of megaband Rudimental.

This show sees performances by Sound of Young Scotland Award nominee and 2022 Best Hip Hop SAMA nominee Psweatpants, who promises to bring bouncy flows as seen on his Radio 1 playlisted release, “The Rave”. Previous HOURS act and rising North East talent Yxng Stunna also joins the bill. Rounding out the lineup, we have also worked with Chef to curate a selection of the North East’s rising talent.The night will be closed off with DJ sets by Radio 1’s own Phoebe Inglis Holmes and the award winning DJ Adriano.Chef &amp; AiiTee will also be hosting a free live afternoon performance upstairs at Nice N Sleazy in Glasgow for those with accessibility needs, due to the evening being held downstairs in an area that is not fully accessible. This will be accompanied by a DJ set from artist and accessibility activist Sanjeev.
