TheRealSkitso “Fired Up” Feat. Project Pat Extends Run in the Top 80 on DRT

Buffalo’s rising producer surges with Project Pat as radio traction intensifies

TheRealSkitso’s explosive single, “Fired Up,” featuring Memphis rap icon Project Pat, is proving to be one of the most durable independent records circulating on digital radio. The track has now held its position in the Top 80 of the Digital Radio Tracker Global Top 100 Independent Airplay Chart for eight consecutive weeks, fueled by more than 750 weekly spins across 13 stations nationwide.

Part of the record’s strength lies in its dynamic pairing. “Fired Up” merges Skitso’s Buffalo-born production edge with Project Pat’s unmistakable Memphis cadence, creating a sound that resonates across demographics.

Fired Up” serves as a featured single from Skitso’s upcoming project, Asylum Vol. 1. The momentum also paves the way for the next single, “Fatherless Child,” with a video directed by Ralph McDaniels, founder of New York’s iconic Video Music Box, known for first introducing Nas to viewers in New York.

Skitso’s earlier breakout record, “Well Connected,” gained national spotlight following its BET Jams premiere, where the West Coast-leaning visual positioned him as a cross-coastal producer capable of bridging generations and regions. This one also featured a remix from DPG’s Kurupt.

Released through Bud E Boy Music and Illustrious Music, “Fired Up” continues to highlight Skitso’s creative vision and ownership-focused approach.

With eight straight weeks in the Top 80 and rising rotation strength, TheRealSkitso’s momentum shows no sign of slowing.
