Fat Pat (born Patrick Lamont Hawkins) was a rapper from Houston, Texas and an original member of DJ Screw's Screwed Up Click. Also known as Mr. Fat Pat and P-A-T, he was most prolific in the mid-1990s alongside his brother Big Hawk and longtime friend Lil' Keke. Fat Pat was signed to Wreckshop Records. Pat met DJ Screw at a young age and they were the main people who organized the Click's early material. Fact|date=June 2008 Big Hawk joined them after Pat encouraged him to join up.

On February 3rd, 1998, Fat Pat received a call from a concert promoter who told him he had money to give him from an earlier show he had performed in Austin, Texas. Fact|date=June 2008 He went to meet the promoter at the promoter's apartment and while there, he was shot and killed. He was found lying face down on the floor. His murder is still unsolved. Two weeks after his death, his debut album, "Ghetto Dreams", was released. He was the first member of the Screwed Up Click to die, followed by DJ Screw. He is also considered a member of the 27 Club, due to his premature and tragic death. The album release party became a wake of sorts, with rap artists such as Scarface, Willie D, Lil' Keke, DJ Screw, the Botany Boys and South Park Mexican in attendance to pay their respects. Four months later Wreckshop Records released his second album, "Throwed In Tha Game", which featured the single "Holla At 'Cha Later". Weeks later DJ Screw and the Screwed Up Click released their group's debut album, "Screwed Up For Life".
