When it comes to writing BIG PATs style is that of a book smart / street smart individual using words and phrases not used in everyday urban life. He started writing lyrics in an attemp to educate uplift and entertain the African American Hip Hop audience young and old even though his music appeals to all races and age groups. The overall message in BIG PATs music is two things be yourself and realize that there is more to life than just the fast buck so dont let the chase dictate what you do and who you become. His influences include The Notorious B.I.G. Jay Z Nas OUTKAST Jadakiss T.I Snoop Mystikal Styles P Eminem the streets and life as a whole. He is currently working on his first solo project. This guy is one of DETROITS BEST!
