Back in 2018, Buffalo, New York emcee and producer, TheRealSkitso, released an EP titled "Shock Treatment." It was full of bangers, but got highly slept on at the time.

One of the gems off of the project was "Play Me Out" featuring Westside Gunn. This deserves to be heard by a wider audience. Hope you enjoy.

"Shock Treatment" is available now: https://cocareef1.bandcamp.com/album/shock-treatment
