Despite the recession, Project Pat [click to read] wants fans of the Hypnotize Minds camp to know that everything’s still working. After achieving crossover success with an Oscar Award [click to read] and their own MTV reality show, Three-6 Mafia [click to read] is scaling things down a bit to cater to their fans pockets.
“Me and Juicy are doing a mixtape together with Michael ‘5000’ Watts for his album,”Pat tells HipHopDX. “And then we’ll do this ‘Keep It Hood’ tour.”
Pat has recently returned to the mixtape circuit the Hypnotize Minds camp was notorious for, back when DJ Paul and Juicy J referred to the collective as the Triple Six Mafia. He notes that his “Back 2 Da Hood” mixtape with Chattanooga, Tennessee’s DJ Dutty Laundry, is just one of many new ventures.

“I’m working on another one right now with Trap-A-Holics and I’m about to do one with Michael “5000” Watts,” Pat adds. “Those are both gonna be monsters. I’ve got two songs with Uncle Murda, I got a mean joint with Webbie, and we’re laying tracks down with Shawty Lo.”
In addition to the usual contributions from Hypnotize Minds artists such as Lil Wyte and Frayser Boy, fans can look forward to solo projects from Juicy and Paul.
“Juicy has a new album coming out called ‘Hustle Till I Die,’”Pat says. “Juicy and Paul will come back out with another Three-6 Mafia album, but they’re just doing solo projects right now.”
Adding that the music industry’s sad state is nothing but another opportunity for the Memphis collective to return to their independent roots, Pat took the Mike Jones approach when giving DX info about he and Juicy J’s upcoming “Keep It Hood” tour.

“Anybody promoters trying to get at us need to call (901) 834-0789 or (901) 239-1482,” explained Pat, before continuing with his pitch. “We’re trying to book up these dates for the next couple months. It’s going down, and we’re coming to a city near whoever calls us. We’re doing walk throughs, Bar Mitzvahs, house parties and even coming out of the pen parties. I just started that. Anybody who just got out and wants to see us kicking it and performing, call them numbers. I ain’t scared of the people. A wolf ain’t messing with no wolf.”
Project Pat’s latest album, Real Recognize Real, was released Tuesday, February 24 on Asylum Records.
