Ghetty Green is the debut studio album by American rapper Project Pat. It was released on September 14, 1999, through Hypnotize Minds, Loud Records, and RED Distribution. The recording sessions took place at Hypnotize Minds Studio and Cotton Row Recording Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. The production was primarily handled by DJ Paul and Juicy J, who also served as executive producers. It features guest appearances from Three 6 Mafia, Cash Money Millionaires, Crucial Conflict, Krayzie Bone and Noreaga.
The album's title is a Memphis slang term for money. According to Project Pat, earning money was the main theme of the album. He wrote half of the album while he was in jail. Jim Farber of New York Daily News highlighted the album's "tough street themes" and its "sinister", bass-heavy sound. 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.
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, reached number 75 on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
