Biography

His career began in the mid-1990s as part of 1st Down, which consisted of Phat Kat on vocals and J Dilla on production. The group was short lived however, possibly because of insufficient support/promotion from their label, Payday, but the two continued to collaborate on many occasions afterwards, starting with an appearance on "Fat Cat Song" and its remix, from Slum Village's Fan-Tas-Tic .
In an interview, he spoke in regards to his time and music creations alongside Dilla, as well as the producer's work ethic:
His first full-length album, The Undeniable LP, was released in 2003 on Barak Records. It featured appearances from Slum Village, Dwele and Obie Trice. Kat released a 12-inch single in late 2006 for the song "Cold Steel", produced by J Dilla, he then followed it with his second album, Carte Blanche, on April 24, 2007 on Look Records.
