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.

How Do We Keep Our Journalistic "Free Hand"?

JOURNALISTS DEPEND ON A FREE  and unfettered internet to deliver news in their own communities and around the world. But, increasingly, they find themselves victimized by the same freedom. In some instances, the news they produce is drowned out by a flood of misinformation, disinformation, lies, and clickbait. In others, they are harassed and threatened by armies of vicious trolls, sometimes organized by governments, intended to hound them into silence.  How on earth should journalists respond?  David Kaye, the UN special rapporteur for freedom of expression and a law professor at the University of California at Irvine, has some suggestions. https://www.cjr.org/watchdog/social-media-harassment-journalists.php Journalist especially citizen journalists depend on the internet and the ability to navigate through the Websphere. Our tools and resources are under constant attack however the above article by David Kaye as reported by the Columbia Journalism Review gives ...

Delivering the Scoop!

In the early 1820s, when the only international news came in with the ships, several New York newspapers banded together to keep a small newsboat ready to meet incoming schooners. But in 1827, one of the papers on board, the  Journal of Commerce , withdrew from the agreement: the editors didn’t want the boaters to work on the Sabbath. The  Journal  bought its own schooner. “One of its rivals then bought an even faster boat, and things escalated from there,” Andie Tucher, a historian and journalist who directs the Communications Ph.D. program at Columbia Journalism School, says. The first scoop war was born. https://www.cjr.org/special_report/journalist-file-deadline-article.php In this day of microwave sensibilities...actually even that isn't fast enough anymore...in this age of social media the new "scoop" delivery to your audience has even outgrown google docs as a means of linking your audience to your story.

Exploring the World of Citizen Journalism

Citizen journalism has become the latest wave to crash onto the shores of media. This new dynamic appears to revolve around social media and short form platforms like blogs rather than the older standard of magazines, newspapers or even newsletters at a community level. Today, anyone with a smart device can be a journalist, capturing and reporting on moments that might otherwise be missed or ignored by what is called mainstream media. Has this phenomenon destroyed the usefulness of what was once known as "tier 1" media outlets? Arguably yes, take for instance the citizen journalists who roam the street and can react and report almost instantly on happenings going on right in front of them as it happens. This information can then be passed on to other outlets who were not on site OR might be inclined to adulterate the information once they get wind of it. That's my thought for today...back soon.
