Ghetty Green is the debut studio album by American rapper
The album's title is a Memphis slang term for money.[5] According to Project Pat, earning money was the main theme of the album.[6] He wrote half of the album while he was in jail.[7] Jim Farber of New York Daily News highlighted the album's "tough street themes" and its "sinister", bass-heavy sound.[8] In an interview with Soren Baker of Rap Pages, Project Pat explained that he was aiming for "fat, Memphis-distorted bass" that will grab listener's attention before they can hear lyrics.[5]
Ghetty Green peaked at number 52 on the Billboard 200 and at number 9 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart in the United States. The album spawned two singles: "Represent It" and "Ballers". "Ballers", the album's lead single,[5] reached number 75 on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
