The Artist

The Eclectic Sound You Haven't Heard Yet

From the 072 to every beat and every bar — his story shaped his style. Country roads, concrete, and 808s. Raised in Southwest Alief, PATE carries the South's full weight across every genre line he crosses. Out now on all platforms.

Who Is JP?

PATE — known as JP — grew up in Southwest Houston's 072, where the slab culture, country stations, and hip-hop radio all bled into the same block. He doesn't choose between genres because where he comes from, nobody did. His debut album "Growing Up in the 072 – S.W.A.T. Nation" is 18 tracks of lived-in storytelling — country soul, Houston bars, and the kind of truth that doesn't need a lane.
