A Career Shift
Hip hop veteran Project Pat has revealed why he walked away from gangster rap.
Once known for gritty street narratives, he now rejects crime-focused themes and
calls his past work a mistake, saying he can no longer promote what he sees as moral harm.
Regret and Revelation
In a podcast interview, Pat admitted remorse for glorifying violence.
He stated, “I can’t glorify evil. There’s no glory in evil,”
marking a clear break from the image that defined albums like Giddy Green and Mista Don’t Play.
A New Mission
Pat now focuses on prison outreach, spiritual guidance, and reform advocacy.
He visits inmates, shares his testimony, and encourages turning toward God as a way out of repeated cycles of violence.
Still an Artist
Though his message has changed, Pat remains active in music, collaborating with major artists while proving that relevance doesn’t require promoting “bang bang” narratives.
