| South Park Mexican |
|---|
South Park Mexican (born Carlos Coy, October 5, 1970 in Houston, Texas) is a Mexican-American rapper, currently in prison after being sentenced by a state District judge in Harris County on one felony charge of aggravated sexual assault of a child. Carlos maintains his innocence, and his case is now on appeal due to allegedly false claims used as evidence in his case. His stage name derives from the South Park neighborhood of SouthEast Houston Texas in which he was raised.
Dope House Records albums
In 1995, Carlos, along with his brother Arthur, founded his own record label, Dope House Records. With the help of his deceased longtime friend DJ Screw, Carlos grew up to be one of the most relevant underground Rap/Hip-hop labels of the 90's-2000's. He later released his second album, Hustle Town, through his label with distribution in Houston under Southwest Wholesale. In 2000 he signed a joint venture between his label and Universal Music Group which earned him a $500,000 advance and national distribution. In total he has released 9 albums, including features on other DopeHouse Records artists, both his musical and social talent influenced many artists.

Paternity tests
In July 2001, 20-year-old Jill Odom filed a lawsuit to force Coy to take a paternity test and legally declare him the father of her son. Odom was 14 years old at the time of the child's birth, and alleged that the then-21 year old Coy was aware that she was in seventh grade. This incident would later be used against Coy in his molestation charge of a separate girl. Coy was legally declared the child's father and was forced to pay back child support and other expenses.
Molestation arrest and incarceration
Carlos Coy is currently incarcerated and being held at the Powledge Priso, part of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice System. In 2002 Coy stood trial for performing oral sex on his daughter's 9-year-old friend while she slept over at his house one night in September 2001. Claims that Coy had engaged in sexual activities with other underage girls, a total of seven-teen excluding his accuser, quickly arose after his September 25, 2001, arrest. A Houston jury convicted Coy of aggravated sexual assault of a child on May 18, 2002. Coy was sentenced to 45 years in prison and ordered to pay a $10,000 fine.
Ongoing albums
In October 2006, Dope House Records released the still-incarcerated South Park Mexican's ninth CD entitled When Devils Strike. that earned him the #2 spot on the top independent albums chart for the billboards. The highest achievement by any DopeHouse Records artist.
