Carlos coy SPM South park mexican Bio

Carlos Coy (born 1971), better known by his stage name South Park Mexican, is an American rapper, and company founder of Dope House Records. His stage name is derived from the South Park neighborhood in Houston, Texas where he was raised.

Coy, his brother Arthur, and a friend founded Dope House Records in 1995; Spms first album as South Park Mexican was in 1998 with the album Power Moves under the label Dope house records . His next album, The 3rd Wish, generated two charting singles, “You Know My Name” and “High So High”. At that point the SPM movement was gaining noteriety in both the houston and latino hip hop scene. 

In 2002, Coy was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child and sentenced to 45 years incarceration, and is currently serving his sentence at Powledge Unit near Palestine, Texas. While incarcerated, he continues to record music.

Early life

SPM was born to Arturo Coy, a former Marine from the Falfurrias community in Brooks County, and a woman who dropped out of high school to marry. The marriage ended three years after Coy’s birth. Coy’s sister, Sylvia, described herself as his “mother-sister”. Coy attended various elementary schools, before entering the music magnet program at Welch Middle School. His family moved from southeast Houston to South Park, and Coy attended Woodson Middle School. Rapper Scarface (real name Brad Jordan) also attended Woodson. Coy attended Milby High School until he dropped out in 1987 while still in ninth grade. Coy obtained a GED and enrolled in San Jacinto Junior College for a business associate’s degree but failed all his classes there. He then worked at a chemical plant for minimum wage, but after being again unemployed he worked as a door-to-door perfume seller and eventually a crack cocaine dealer.^[2]

Music career

Coy began as a Christian rapper but felt that doing so made him an outcast. In 1995, Coy, along with his brother Arthur Jr. and good friend Jose Antonio Garza from McAllen, Texas sounded his own record label, Dope House Records.  ^{as s}outh Park Mexican (SPM), Coy released one album in 1998, Power Moves, through his label with distribution in Houston under Southwest Wholesale. Live album Hillwood and studio album The 3rd Wish followed in 1999. 3rd Wish was a regional hit, with single “High So High” gaining much local buzz and even charting at #50 on the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart.  In 2000, SPM signed a joint venture between his label and Universal Music Group which earned him a $500,000 advance and national distribution.  Universal released three of SPM’s albums: Time is Money and The Purity Album (2000) and Never Change (2001). The Purity Album included single “You Know My Name”, which peaked at #99 on the Billboard R&B chart and #31 on the rap chart. SPM’s Universal releases did not gain much mainstream attention; Jason Birchmeier of allmusic suggested: “Coy’s hardcore rapping proved to be too harsh for the masses”. SPM’s 2002 album Reveille Park, a compilation of freestyles, was released by Dope House. Dope House released two new albums by SPM that he recorded while incarcerated. When Devils Strike, released in 2006, debuted at #46 on the Billboard 200   The Last Chair Violinist followed in 2008.

Child molestation case

On September 25, 2001, Houston police arrested SPM on a charge of aggravated sexual assault of a child who was then nine years old but was released from jail after posting bail.^[6] The incident occurred on Labor Day weekend that year.  A Harris County, Texas jury indicted SPM on December 10, 2001 and added another charge over a 1993 incident when SPM allegedly impregnated a then-13-year old girl, who later demanded child support payments from him.   Two more charges followed in March 2002 for sexual assault of two 14-year old girls; SPM was held without bail.  SPM’s trial began on May 8, 2002, when the alleged 9-year old victim’s mother testified that the girl left a sleepover because of abuse.   The next day, the girl testified that SPM touched her inappropriately when she was sleeping. On May 18, 2002, a Houston jury convicted Coy of aggravated sexual assault of a child. Coy was sentenced to 45 years in prison on May 30 and ordered to pay a $10,000 fine. SPM is currently incarcerated in the Powledge Unit in unincorporated Anderson County, Texas, near Palestine, Texas. Coy is eligible for parole in 2024. SPM’s projected release date is April 8, 2047, and his Texas Department of Criminal Justice number is 01110642.  There are persistent messages from online posters calling for his release.

lyrics SPM – Mexican Heaven

This new shit off SPM album The Last Chair Violinist

Will i see my homie chris there
he got smoked by some fools who shouldnt be alive
im tryna cope but its just so hard
dear god will i see him on the boulevard
can u tilt ur hat to side if you want
or do gotta have it straight to the front
ive been saggin dickies ever since i was 8
and i wonder will somebody try to tell me i cant
i won a knife at the carnival they have of jensen
its just for goood luck not for a weapon
i wonder can i take it
well thats if i make it
but i dont wanna walk around all butt naked
will my hydralics work up in tha clouds
do people start complainin’ if the music is loud
and these are the things that i ask the reverend
excuse me sir but can mexicans go to heaven

Will my grandfathers beer breath be real bad
or will they make him take mints or tha white tic tacs
do the r&b and hip hop radio stations
play all raps or do they still be hatin
people owe me money from previous business
i wonder can i get it with a little bit interest
and what about drop outs with no education
i cant spell good but i know multiplication
do they got real tortillas for all the races
or them fake little skinny ones like some places
i know my sancha is out of the question
but on tha cool she got love for a meskin
will my homies pitch in or wanna smoke for free
will they have gas money or depend on me
can i roll on gold streets in my 57
let me know can mexicans go to heaven

Will they charge arm and leg for the new mike jordans
or sell em half price so everyone can afford em
what about tobacco products will they ban em
one thing about cigarettes i just cant stand em
is minimum wage all they offer my people
does my uncle gota marry someone just to be legal
will he get dirty looks cause he cant speak english
do the chicks dress up or do they show their chiches
what kind of clubs do they have in heaven
i dont dance techno and no 2steppin
i got a few warrants will they follow me there
or can i start clean with a record thats clear
is my pitbull there, his name is plex
he choked on his chain jumpin over the fence
im sorry if im askin you too many questions
i just gotta know can mexicans go to heaven
