	'''Carlos Coy''' (born <!-- DO NOT ADD AN EXACT BIRTHDATE WITHOUT A SOURCE -->1971), better known by his ] '''South Park Mexican''', is an American ], and company founder of ]. His stage name is derived from the ] neighborhood in ] where he was raised.

	Coy, his brother Arthur, and a friend founded Dope House Records in 1995; Coy debuted as South Park Mexican in 1998 with the album ''Power Moves'' under the label. His next album, ''The 3rd Wish'', generated two charting singles, "You Know My Name" and "High So High".

	In 2002, Coy was convicted of ] and sentenced to 45 years ], and is currently serving his sentence at ] near ], ]. While incarcerated, he continues to record music.

	==Early life==
	SPM was born to Arturo Coy, a former ] from the ] community in ], 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 ], and Coy attended ]. Rapper ] (real name Brad Jordan) also attended Woodson. Coy attended ] until he dropped out in 1987 while still in ninth grade. Coy obtained a ] and enrolled in ] for a business ] 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.<ref name="South Park Monster">{{cite web\|url=http://www.houstonpress.com/content/printVersion/226414\|title=South Park Monster\|last=Lomax\|first=John Nova\|date=2002-06-06\|work=Houston Press\|accessdate=2009-04-24}}</ref>

	==Music career==
	Coy began as a ] 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 ] founded his own record label, ].<ref name="South Park Monster"/> As South Park Mexican (SPM), Coy released one album in 1998, '']'', through his label with distribution in Houston under Southwest Wholesale. Live album '']'' and studio album '']'' 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.<ref>{{cite news\|url=http://www.chron.com/CDA/archives/archive.mpl?id=1999_3179397\|title=SPM creating a buzz with `Third Wish'\|last=Guerra\|first=Joey\|date=1999-11-23\|work=Houston Chronicle\|accessdate=2009-08-01}}</ref><ref name="Billboard singles"/> In 2000, SPM signed a joint venture between his label and Universal Music Group which earned him a $500,000 advance and national distribution.<ref name="South Park Monster"/> 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.<ref name="allmusic">{{cite web\|url=http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:gjfixqlhldje~T1\|title=South Park Mexican > Biography\|last=Birchmeier\|first=Jason\|date=2002\|publisher=allmusic\|accessdate=2009-08-01}}</ref> Dope House released two new albums by SPM that he recorded while incarcerated.
