Early Life and Education

Carlos Coy was born on October 5, 1970, in Houston’s South Park neighborhood. After his parents divorced, he was raised by his father, a retired Marine, and dropped out of several high schools, including Milby and Westbury, after being expelled for fighting.

He worked various jobs while selling drugs on the side. Following several brief jail stints, he pursued rap full-time in the mid-1990s to leave the streets. He is of mixed white and Mexican ethnicity, and his religious background is unknown.

Career

SPM founded Dope House Records in 1995 with his brother Arthur and childhood friend Juan Carlos. His independent debut Power Moves (1998) sold over 100,000 copies through mom-and-pop stores and car trunks alone.

Follow-up albums Never Change (2001) and The Purity Album (2000) went gold and platinum independently, while tracks like High So High, Hillwood Hustlaz, and Screens Falling became Texas anthems.

At his peak he moved over 1 million albums without major-label support and signed artists like Baby Bash and Lucky Luciano.

In May 2002, just weeks before the release of his planned Universal Records debut, Coy was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child and sentenced to 45 years in prison (eligible for parole in 2024).

Since his incarceration, Dope House has continued releasing archival and new material recorded before his arrest, including The Last Chair Violinist (2008) and several mixtapes. His music still streams heavily on Spotify and YouTube, especially in Texas and the Southwest.

SPM’s influence on Southern and Chicano rap remains undeniable. His melodic flow and bilingual storytelling inspired a generation of Texas artists, and his independent blueprint through Dope House Records is studied by many underground rappers today.

Social Media

• SPM has no personal social media accounts due to incarceration.

Personal Life

Carlos Coy has never married but is a father to three children: Carlos Coy Jr., Jordan Dominique Odom, and Carley Coy, born in 1992—the latter being central to the case that led to his conviction at age nine.

He is currently serving a 45-year sentence at the Ramsey Unit in Rosharon, Texas, following his 2002 conviction. Despite incarceration, he continues to record music through prison phone calls and remains involved in the studio via pre-recorded verses, with his family managing operations at Dope House Records.
