Pat’s career peaked with the release of his 2001 album, Mista Don't Play: Everythangs Workin, which was certified gold by the RIAA. The album came out just months before his son Patrick was born.
In addition to his music career, Project Pat is also the founder of the Go Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on prison ministry and
motivational speaking. He has frequently used his platform to inspire and uplift those facing challenges.
Patrick Houston Jr. was also the nephew of Juicy J, co-founder of the legendary rap group Three 6 Mafia. Project Pat himself gained recognition through his collaborations with the group, including memorable contributions like the hook on their hit Sippin' on Some Syrup.
As of now, investigations into the circumstances of the shooting continue. Patrick Houston Jr. is remembered as a beloved son whose life
was tragically cut short. He will be laid to rest on Saturday. May he rest in peace.
