Phat Kat’s career began in the mid-1990s as part of 1st Down, which consisted of Phat Kat on vocals and J Dilla on production.

In an interview, he spoke in regards to his time and music creations alongside Dilla, as well as the producer's work ethic: Dilla didn’t fuck around in the studio. Everybody else had to adjust their style to keep up with Dilla, or if they ever wanted the chance to work with Dilla. You had to be able to knock
