Although not an official member, he extensively collaborates with and seeks production assistance from Three 6 Mafia. Indeed, members Juicy J and DJ Paul have produced all of his records thus far.

Project Pat broke onto the mainstream scene after providing the hook for Three 6 Mafia's hit "Sippin' on Some Syrup" in 2000 and released his breakthrough album "" the next year. Shortly thereafter in 2001, he was arrested for parole violation after a pair of revolvers were discovered in his vehicle during a traffic stop. In March of the same year, he was sentenced in a trial to four years in prison on two counts of a felon in possession of a firearm. The album "Layin' Da Smack Down" was released during Pat's incarceration.

After his release from federal prison in 2005, he released "", followed the next year by "Walkin' Bank Roll". He has made frequent public appearances with Three Six Mafia in recent years including their Academy Award victory and their short-lived reality show Adventures in Hollyhood.
