"Country roads,
concrete,
and 808s."
Houston 072 — SWAT Nation
Country × Hip-Hop
In the studio, where the sound lives — twang-soaked storytelling cut with trap rhythm.
Houston 072
Repping SWAT Nation with a crew-first mentality. Built for people who know life doesn't fit a single genre.
The Culture That Made Him
Clubs, Saloons
& Dance Halls
PATE didn't pick his sound off a playlist. He lived it — two-stepping at Wild West on a Friday, then crossing town to Club 6400 before the night was over. Houston was the only city where you could do that. Country floors and hip-hop floors in the same zip code, the same night, the same people.
Houston · 1994 & 1995
Back. To. Back.
Two NBA Championships. Two summers where all of Houston poured into the streets — Rockets jerseys, car horns, strangers hugging like family. Hakeem Olajuwon made this city believe anything was possible. For a kid growing up in the 072, those nights weren’t just sports. They were proof that Houston was something special — and so were the people in it.
That same energy — crew-first, city-proud, built from the ground up — lives in every track PATE makes.

The Artist
Houston Born.
Two Worlds Fused.
PATE comes out of Houston's 072, carrying the South's full weight — country roads, concrete, the late nights in the booth. His sound refuses to pick a lane. It's twang-soaked storytelling cut with trap rhythm and Houston swagger, built for people who know that life doesn't fit a single genre.
Repping SWAT Nation, PATE moves independently with a crew-first mentality. Growing Up in the 072 is the statement.
