Sex, Money & Murder is one of Gangsta Pat’s darkest and most aggressive releases, arriving in 1994 at the height of Memphis rap’s raw street era. Following the momentum of his earlier work, this tape leans heavily into unfiltered gangsta narratives, paranoia, hustling, and violence, paired with smooth bass-heavy production typical of the period. The album balances solo cuts with appearances from The Villain, adding to the tape’s ominous tone and reinforcing its street-level realism. Tracks like “Homicidal Lifestyle,” “Shootin’ on Narcs II,” and the title track “Sex, Money, Murder” reflect the constant tension between survival, temptation, and retaliation that defined much of early ’90s Memphis rap. Meanwhile, songs like “Pimpin’ Ain’t Dead” and “Natural High” showcase Pat’s versatility while still staying rooted in the underground sound. Often overlooked outside the region, Sex, Money & Murder stands as a solid example of Gangsta Pat’s consistency during his prime and captures the uncompromising attitude that made Memphis tapes so powerful during this era.
