Project Pat gained fame in the 1990s as a member of the group The Kaze, joining in 1998, the same year they dropped their debut album. The Kaze, also known as Killa Klan Kaze, had close ties with Three 6 Mafia due to Pat’s relationship with his brother, Juicy J.
Pat has one gold-certified album by the RIAA titled “Mista Don’t Play: Everythangs Workin,” which was released in 2001, just months before Patrick Houston Jr. was born.
Houston’s funeral service is scheduled for Saturday, January 25. Law enforcement has yet to respond to requests for more information regarding the sh0oting. Patrick Houston Jr. was 21 years old.
