Rapper Project Pat was part of the Memphis rap scene that was part of the syrup revolution, as his collaboration with 2000 Three 6 Mafia single "Sippin' on Some Syrup" demonstrated.

Born Patrick Houston, Pat was immersed in rap music as a child, as brother Juicy J was one of the founders of the ‘90s rap group Three 6 Mafia. Pat often found himself collaborating with the group, though he never was officially part of it. In 1999, Pat recorded a solo album for Hypnotize Minds/Loud, calling it Ghetty Green. Though the album didn't create a rap star, it did give Project Pat some recognition in the Deep South. This album was followed by his sophomore effort, Murderers and Robbers, in 2000. This album was released under an indie label instead of Loud and had the same affect as his first.

His third album, Mista Don't Play Everythangs Workin, was produced by his brother and DJ Paul of Three 6 Mafia. It was this breakthrough album that Project Pat saw for his first hit single, "Chickenhead." The single features both of his producers as well as La' Chat performing vocals and became a Dirty South anthem when it was released in 2001. Mista Don't Play Everythangs Workin propelled onto the Billboard Top Five due to the mainstream success of "Chickenhead." The album discusses everything from women to money and drugs (no surprise there), and shows a matured Project Pat.

It was then that Project Pat collaborated with his brother's group for the single "Sippin' on Some Syrup." The single was a mega hit and spoke of the Deep South syrup addiction that would lead to several rapper deaths within the next few years. He has also appeared on Tear Da Club Up Thugs.
