Who's Fat Pat??

I know this is kind of out of order but who cares. This is just the order that I found it online.

Real Name: Patrick Lamont Hawkins
Nicknames: Mr. Fat Pat, P-A-T, Suga Daddy
Hometown: Houston, TX
Born: 1970
Died: February 3, 1998

The Story:
Fat Pat, standing near 6'3, made a come up move around the mid-90'S with his longtime friend LiL Keke. Doing shows in various clubs and performing underground parties and garage freestyle sessions, Fat Pat gained more potential in his rapping. After being shut out by many record labels, D-Reck, founder of Wreckshop Records, heard about Fat Pat and thought he was real material. Fat Pat got signed to Wreckshop Records and started laying down raps. Then on February 3rd of 1998, Fat Pat was gunned down after he stopped by a promoter's apartment to pick up money. His friends unfortunately found his body face down, after waiting awhile for him to come back. Two weeks later his debut album, Ghetto Dreams, dropped featuring the underground hit single "Tops Drop." On the night Ghetto Dreams dropped, every rapper in the Houston area gathered up and attended his album release party. Such rap artist as Scarface, Willie D, Lil Keke, Dj Screw, the Botany Boys, South Park Mexican and many others paid their respects to the unfortunate rapper. Four months later, Wreckshop Records released his second album, "Throwed in tha Game" which featured the single, "Holla at 'Cha Later." And even weeks later, Dj Screw and the Screwed Up Click released their group D.E.A' s debut album, "Screwed Up For Life" There's no telling how many more Fat Pat songs are still unreleased, but whatever happens, I hope they are as tight as the last ones were.
