Lobo Wanna Raise

Originating in Houston's Southern Rap Mecca, South Park Mexican (SPM) steadily developed his own personal record label, Dope House Records, for years before finally signing a distribution deal with Universal Records. With a good deal in place, SPM was on the verge of expanding his scope beyond the South and being one of the first Mexican-American rappers to gain national success. Unfortunately, his vow has never been fulfilled. In the early 2000s, his releases for Universal struggled to top the charts.

Coy's two 1998 albums, Hustle Town and Power Moves, established him in the South as an up-and-coming rapper. Coy won a deal with Universal following releases in 1999 and 2000. His 2002 release, Reveille Park, a collection of freestyle, proved no different, mainly since Universal chose not to release it. Finally, Coy was sentenced to 45 years in prison. He continued to record and release albums on Dope House, including When Devils Strike in 2006 and The Last Chair Violinist in 2008. Following a six-year hiatus, he released The Son of Norma in 2014.
