Carlos Coy known professionally as SPM (an initialism for South Park Mexican), is an American rapper and convicted sex offender. His stage name was incorporated from his Mexican heritage and the South Park neighborhood in Houston, Texas, where he was raised.
Growing up into a life of crime in mid-1980s, he later started his rap career in 1994. One year later, in 1995, he and his older brother co-founded independent music label, Dope House Records, and released his debut studio album, Hillwood, that March.
On May 18, 2002, Coy was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child, sentenced to 45 years in prison and ordered to pay a $10,000 fine. He is currently serving his sentence at the Ramsey Unit in Rosharon, Texas, and would be eligible for parole on October 7, 2024, although his projected release date is on April 8, 2047.
