Fat Pat

A member of the Screwed Up Click and DEA (Dead End Alliance), Houston rapper Fat Pat was shot to death in 1998, the same year the Wreckshop label released both his debut and sophomore solo albums. Ghetto Dreams and Throwed in da Game both landed that year, released after Pat was gunned down in front of his promoter's apartment. Eight years later, his brother and fellow Screwed Up Click member John "Big Hawk" Hawkins was shot to death outside his Houston home. ~ David Jeffries
