BIG GIBZ: MEXICAN SWAGGA

YOUNG J: This is ya boy Young J comin live with that exclusive with that hommie  "Big Gibz." It's good to have you come through I appreciate your time. How have you been doing?
BIG GIBZ: I'm good just blessed to be alive. Ima working man clocking in and out while I'm also pushing my music searching for the big payoff. Hopefully one day my music will become my only job getting paid big dollars to do what I love to do, making music.
YOUNG J: You’re a Texas native from Waco, what was the youth years of Big Gibz like?
BIG GIBZ: Growing up I was like a normal kid I was bad, but yet innocent. I grew up around my older brothers and sister so I seen a lot. But during my teenage years I was quiet, but I hung around thugs and grew up in rough neighborhood. I kind of keep to myself and my music is the pain I've seen bangin out the speakers.
YOUNG J: When you were growing up what type of music were you listening to?
BIG GIBZ: Mostly Rap: Kid Frost, NWA, Lil Rob, 8Ball & MJG, Dr. Dre, Easy E, all the Old School Rap, along with some R&B.
YOUNG J: What type of music does Big Gibz have in his iPod these days?
BIG GIBZ: These days I got Big Cease From Hata Proof Records, I got Old School Lil Flip when he dropped a CD with a group called (HSE) Hustles Stacking Ends, King Lil G out of Cali, Old School Tejano Micheal Sagado, Los Palominos, Los Garcia Bros, Dope House Fam, Playa Made Mexicans, Juan Gotti, Flatline, and many more.
YOUNG J: I gotta say you got some pretty sick flows, when was it that you decided you wanted to be a rapper?
BIG GIBZ: 8 years ago I started free styling in front of drunk hommies at house party's and it just
grew in became a life style and, hey why not get paid while doing that? It became like a drug this is my life my way out of the bullshit this world offers us. I feel as if I'm one with my music, it's my better half, music is who I am.
YOUNG J: It’s been said, “All I got in this world is my balls and my word.” I admire your integrity in this rap game and your originality will make you successful. Are you a writer or a freestyler?

BIG GIBZ: Writer all the way. Freestyling, sometimes I go hard most of the time I don't like what I say. I don't like freestyling; I don't like how I sound I'm a deep thinking kind of person, and I let my heart do the talking. I freestyle for fun at times, but I'm not a fan of freestyling though I love to jam other artist freestyles who go hard at it.
YOUNG J: For all my readers who have yet to hear of you can you explain what you and your music represent?
BIG GIBZ: I represent myself first off; also my city and state, Waco Texas, but most of all I rep my brown skin people. I wanna show em that we to got talent and we too got dreams, and with hard work time and prayers we can get there; if only we apply our selves. So if you’re a gangsta, hustla, family man or women, we are all in the same struggle no matter what state or city were from. Ima put on for y'all and never stop believing in our selves. It’s time for la raza to sit at the top now.
YOUNG J: When was it that you had started taking a serious interest in the music industry?
BIG GIBZ: Now (laughing) after all the business issues with the SPM song opened my eyes. It's time to go over and beyond now, gotta give it my all or lose it all is how I feel, and my first real album is half done and I will shock everyone when it drops; God willing and Ima be shining soon.
YOUNG J: Since you have been coming up in the industry what have been some of your accomplishment that you have achieved as of now?
BIG GIBZ: As funny as it sounds (laughing) none I mean I been in magazines, radio, even got a trophy given to me for performing at a car shows. They surprised me with an outstanding achievement award but I still feel empty. Though I'm grateful for my accomplishment, but the accomplishment I'm waiting on is a major record deal so I can make sure my family is taken care of.
YOUNG J: I firmly believe in persistence and dedication, progress is success. Where would you like to see your career propel to in the future?
BIG GIBZ: Wherever the good Lord has set out for me is what is written. Weather I'm at the top or just getting some kind of cash flow rolling in is fine with me, but of course hopefully one day I'll be livening comfortably.
YOUNG J: Since you have been on your grind in the industry what other artist have you had the opportunity to collab with?
BIG GIBZ: I had the honor to meet and chill with Juan Gotti and Rasheed from Dope House we got a song dropin soon. I respect their skills and talent so that was a honor for me to be able to record and do what we do best, make good music.

YOUNG J: I've heard of a track titled, "Body Bags" featuring yourself, the hommie Pircription, Hustle E, and the iconic "South Park Mexican." How did the concept for this particular track come about?
BIG GIBBZ: The song came about basically threw connections; Pirscription threw the opportunity on the table so I had to eat (laughing.) Shout out to, Pirscription. He threw me in the mix cause I'm guess he thought I'd be perfect on the track, I guess my skills and my Mexican swagga, everything just fell into place.
YOUNG J: My boy SPM did the hook. SPM says, "Body bags and jolly rancher Jags kick em out the telly and I’ll tell em catch a cab my Cadillac on slab and at every club I have a tab if I go past the max there’s mo after that." How did SPM get incorporated on this track?
BIG GIBZ: Well that remains a mystery only Dope House can answer that. But, it is Dope House approved; shout out too SPM's engineer, "Pain" Jamie Ortiz.
YOUNG J: Would you have imagined you would be on the same track as SPM?
BIG GIBZ: Naw I would of never thought; I’m a fan of South Park Mexican I been buying his music scene cassette tapes, I wasn't even rappin back then so I was excited about the song.
YOUNG J: At this point of your career what does it mean to you to have a track featuring yourself and SPM?
BIG GIBZ: Well I believe it helped me a lot due to South Parks fans and I think it opened a lot of eyes letting the world know that there are other Mexicans out there that can wreck. I believe though I been in the game for a while this feels like this is beginning to chapter to something great for my career.
YOUNG J: Earlier you had mentioned you’re a fan of SPM. How did you first begin listening to the music of the South Park Mexican?
BIG GIBZ: My older brother had hustle town on cassette tape we were barbequin and he popped the tape in; I was a fan since then on.
YOUNG J: How did you first hear about SPM’s incarceration handed down to him by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice system?
BIG GIBZ: I heard it from the streets. First I didn't believe it till I read it on Internet. I believe he is innocent and that he will be out soon.
YOUNG J: I’m sure you aware of the imprisonment of SPM. What’s your thought about his status?
BIG GIBZ: I believe he is innocent, he was a powerful man. His fans were deep and loyal. I believe the system seen him as a threat and they tryin to stop him, but I believe one day he will be out back in the real world with more knowledge to teach and straightin up the youth, and expose all these suit and tie devils out here.
YOUNG J: What does the legacy of SPM mean to you?
BIG GIBZ: It means a lot to me, can't know one do what he did or walk the path he stood in he's a legend for sure. He is a Mexican leader someone who we can look up to and learn from. Also he
opens a lot of doors for people like myself to walk through. Sky's the limits there's a lot of talent out here, but can't know one tell the stories about the shoes he walks in.
YOUNG J: Do you have any projects you’re currently working on?
BIG GIBZ: I'm working on my album which will be the first album of mine. Available on iTunes very soon I'm tryin do everything right but my album will be my heart Ima have something on there for everybody to jam. This project is movein slow I'm putting lotta time money and thought in to it.so remember me in stay tuned in.

YOUNG J: I appreciate your time. It’s been real talking with you hommie. Big Gigz is on his hustle and I’ll be waiting to see what kinda moves you make next. Stay up playa.
BIG GIBZ: Orale thank you and what your doing for SPM, and all artist that link up with you. I think u have great taste in talent and music. We're I end up after this I feel is already written; I put my dreams and talent in the lords hands, and you all stay tuned to see what my next move is. I got a lot going on including my album. I've never dropped a real album, but my time is in motion God bless stay true I'm out much love.

YOUNG J: REAL TALK


A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR:


This is ya girl “Anonymous” I’m filling in for Young J today. However Young J is my guest for this interview. Please enjoy and leave your comments. Thanks!



Arthur Coy Jr & Young J
ANONYMOUS: It's a pleasure to be able to catch up with the infamous "Young J." You’re sort of difficult to get in touch with. Thanks for stopping to check in with ya homegirl, "Anonymous."
YOUNG J: Anonymous, I see ya girl. What are you sippin on tonight? It's all good. It's an honor to come through and chill with all my peeps. I've been really great, I'm blessed. I've been content with living every day to the fullest. I have plenty of odd-ball projects. If I 'm not involved with promoting my hip hop artist I'm reporting on any SPM related topics. Currently I'm promoting SPM's next album titled, "The Son of Norma." and I have recently been dealing with, "Dope House Army" operations. I just had the opportunity to promote some exclusive rare never-before-seen SPM footage which since then has been released. I've been focusing more of my time in journalism. Journalism has always sparked an interest. As a journalist you’re pretty much paid to report about various topics. It's a little more complicated than the way I'm portraying it. Or it would be awesome if someone happened to read one of my editorials and say, "I admire your work" and offer me a really dope job (Laughing.)
ANONYMOUS: That sounds very interesting. It appears as if music is important to you. What type of music does Young J listen to?
YOUNG J: Music has always been apart of me. I have listened to a variety of music and heard lots of different genres. I'm into everything rock, classics, and oldies.  As long as it sounds good I'll listen. I mostly listen to hip hop or rap, depends on my mood or what I'm doing.
ANONYMOUS: What was the early years of your life like?
YOUNG J: I didn't have an ideal childhood. I come from a broken home and I'm a certified high school dropout. I didn't understand the importance of an education. I grew up in different hoods; was hanging out with the wrong kids and yes drugs were an influence. I never got into nothing too serious like crack or meth. I was a disrespectful delinquent. I was going astray and had no direction; I felt lost and unsure who to really trust. There's chapters in my life I was uncertain about; my future did not look promising. I drifted in and out of darkness. I remember looking for guidance, but came up empty handed. I started listening to some of the realest rappers on compact disc. I had felt as if I was finally making a connection and I felt comforted. The rapper's I was listening to were rapping about the way I was feeling. Sad, but true there were portions of my life I found guidance from the music I was listening to, whether it was right or wrong, I didn't know any better. That began to change some time after I started listing to SPM. For the first time I was grasping on to something. Who would have thought a small company by the name of Dope House Records would broaden my prospective of life. Dope House flows deeply within my heart and soul and everything I now stand for, and the experience I've had with Dope House is truly mesmerizing. I firmly believe everything happens for a reason; despite my downfall's I wouldn't change anything. The pain I lived is my testament which defines me, this is my story. I haven't been the greatest person, but I've learned to be better. Since then I did return to school and obtained my high school diploma and went on to continue my education.
ANONYMOUS: Can you explain what your experience with Dope House Records has been like?
Arthur Coy hookin me up with a autograph
YOUNG J: The truth is there is no way I can put my experiences into words. I would have never envisioned I would have had the opportunity to be a representative of Dope House Records. I'd like to give a quick shout out to the Dope House staff and family. I met the Coy family and done some work, in: human relations, marketing, and promotions, for (CEO of Dope House Records) Mr. Author Coy. Tudy, even though you cannot be with us; you are missed. Your struggles and your pain I deeply do feel for you just as I do for your brother. I have gained quite a bit of wisdom from the conversations I've had with Sylvia Coy. She has a sense humor that is unparallelled. Recently I've chatted with SPM's nephew; I was shocked to learn he's in a rock band. Also I'm in contact with Carlos Coy's closest child hood friend. I've heard some interesting stories about Carlos as a youth. I've had the chance to talk with a cameraman who had filmed Carlos during his live shows. Let me ask you something really quick; how many of you remember the song, "Dope House Family?" That particular song is nearly seven years old but that it's one of the most beloved by all Dope House fans. I recall when I heard Carolyn say, "I ain't gonna lie Dope House till I die with my niggas in the studio, chillin' getting high." I knew she had talent. The real question was how much talent? I seen her come up through the game and hold her own, independently. Carolyn is now known as, "Medicine Girl." She's one of the most successful members of the family. All of these great accomplishment and I can't wait to see what she will do next. She is the voice; she is the voice that can do any rhyme or hook. I have spent some of my personal time with Carolyn traveling and I've worked with her which included: retail and some social media consulting. Who would have knew that a bond such as this would blossom beyond any expectations. I once revealed to Carolyn, "Los would be happy to see her at the MTV VMA's." Of course I always have promoted SPM, but as you may know I promote other dope hip hop artist who are upcoming underground MC's however I'll never stop reppin for Medicine Girl. Carolyn just released "Dope Diary" but the latest Medicine Girl album, "Night Nurse" which has been said to be dropping in the Summer of 2013. I have chilled with that homboy, (CEO of 21st Century) "Rasheed." I conducted an interview with him and he explained what it was like to be a artist at Dope House, "It's all good. Everyone has something different to offer from the creative process to the business." The entire Dope House Family has incredible talent. I've met the most devoted and loyal fans from across the world; they very much support Dope House. It is my presumption to believe the fans are the key factor keeping the era of Dope House Records and SPM afloat today.
The one and only,
“Medicine Girl” in AZ
(I’m in the background)
ANONYMOUS: How can the fans who want to help get more involved?
YOUNG J: From the outside looking in it would appear as if the outcome of event that occurred evolved into a conspiracy theory. If you look at the relationship between Carlos and the accusing family; there’s a good chance this situation was about money. I don't really want to get into that but I do want to encourage people to educate themselves about this case before condemning Carlos Coy. Read through the information, "Incandiso" has discovered and read the court transcripts that are available. You can always find more information regarding this case by visiting SPM Aftermath.
ANONYMOUS: You used the phrase "conspiracy theory" can you elaborate on that a little more?
YOUNG J: I use this term based more on the legal aspect. It appears as if the case was very one sided. For instance Carlos Coy's lawyer Chip Lewis was not allowed to fully present his case to the court. The investigation by HPD lead investigator, Heidi Ruiz can viewed as faulty. The DA pushed to have other victims who claimed they had sex with the defendant proved to be irrelevant to the case. Going back to the victim claiming the incident could have been a dream when asked. The case doesn’t revel enough evidence to hold up for a conviction; but more importantly a lengthy conviction. I find it ironic that the core individuals in this case are all females except of the judge.
ANONYMOUS: What's your thoughts about the imprisonment of Carlos Coy?
Much love to Carolyn Rodriguez
YOUNG J: It's really unfortunate that he's in this predicament. I truly believe he's an innocent man. From what I know he's doing the best he can to pass his time. He gets visits from his family and writes letters to his fans. He plays basketball often, and from what I hear he's got a good jump shot. Musically he's still got unbelievable material. In 2006, "When Devils Strikes" dropped it was like his way of slapping the justice system back in the face and say, '"Watch me do the impossible." That album was just the beginning of history materializing before our eyes. 2008 when "The Last Chair Violinist" came out it was like he was saying, "Even though I'm on lock these hoes can't stop me." He actually did make reference to that on, "S.P. So Bastardly." "The Son of Norma," will be dropping soon. His next album will be titled, "Visionary" as the "Free SPM" saga continues on.
ANONYMOUS: How has Carlos Coy affected your life?
YOUNG J: Carlos has been a huge eye opener. As I look around and see hopeless people living in addictions that they cannot control and lives of negativity; that could easily been me and without a doubt can still be. Carlos has shown me that it is okay to be different. When I read letters Carlos writes to me or other reading material I've received encouragement and I realize more about myself. I have a better understanding of who I am. I have no father; he was murdered, my mother was unaccountable for, and I lacked a lot of guidance. Because of Carlos I live a more respectable and productive life. I don't want you to think I had to give up this life style it just happened. I began to notice positive changes that were affecting my life.  
ANONYMOUS: How has SPM affected your life?
Rasheed & a loyal fan 
YOUNG J: SPM "Looks" like us, "Talks" like us and he has instilled that hustler type of mentality to never give up and keep pursuing my dreams. After many years of listening to SPM I still find encouragement within his music. I have read many, many comments coming from his fans who have expressed their respect and love. A large number of these messages are very touching. Many people have said they feel as if SPM is their role model. Some have said they've always felt a connection to SPM due to his music. As I'm reading these messages it reminds me of the obstacles that hindered me. Many SPM lyrics have impacted my life. I'm reminded of what life use to be or could still have been. Looking back at my life I consider myself fortunate I haven't been killed or locked up. I was a victimless kid much like the kids SPM speaks of within his lyrical content. Today I'm the complete opposite of who I was. Life is a lot brighter and productive. I'll be honest it's not always easy to make wise decisions. I believe in persistent and dedicated will help anyone endure the storm. These are some lyrics that have shaped my life into the righteousness I live for today, "I come from the slums, survived on crumbs I live like a man, and I'ma die like one" and "This is what an O-G told me filthy rich and dying lonely f**k a benz and f**k a rolly, life is what you make it hommie." This is some of the realest words I've ever heard since the great 2Pac.
ANONYMOUS: Have you always been a SPM fan?
YOUNG J: I accidental stumbled onto SPM's albums: The 3rd Wish, Time Is Money, and maybe, The Purity Album. Come to think of it my boy Hector had all of SPM's albums. He even had a SPM video called, "Latin Throne." I first heard of SPM when Hector and I were drinking some beers. I caught a good buzz and ended up drinking a few more then I wanted too. Hector said he had some Spanish rap music and asked me if I wanted to hear it. When I initially heard, "Spanish rap" I automatically lost interest. Daddy Yankee is known for Spanish based hip hop, "Reggaeton." He was the, "in-thing" that was trending. MTV played his videos in heavy rotation and I was so burnt on him. However, I've always felt that I should give every artist a fair chance to display their talents. I told Hector to put his CD's on; as he was putting the disc into the CD player he was saying, "This guy is my favorite rapper." The music begins to play and the beat was bumping. I started to listen to the lyrics. I was a little confused because Hector said this was Spanish rap but what I was hearing sounded nothing like what I had assumed. Hector had mentioned, "This guy's name is, SPM." Hector played me all of his favorite tracks from his CD's. I was truly amazed by what I heard. I asked Hector if I could barrow his SPM CD's; I was banging South Park Mexican for the next few weeks. But, to answer your question at that very moment when I first heard SPM I became a fan instantly. My dope be that South Park Mexican, and I'm a true SPM fan for life.
ANONYMOUS: You sort of answered my next question. SPM has received recognizable credibility. What sets him apart from main stream artist? 
Chillin with Rasheed
YOUNG J: He was always raw and never interested if the radio played him or not. He pioneered his own style and made the music he made for his people, and the kids who experienced what he had gone through. You would have to look at what he's done and what he's doing now to fully understand what type of leader SPM has proven to be.
ANONYMOUS: What does the SPM legacy mean to you?
YOUNG J: I imagine as an upcoming artist achieving the amount of success he was getting. There's a possibility that there may have been some kind of struggle balancing a normal personal life and a rising artist blowing up. It gets hard to keep your head in the game and just do you, it's sort of a juggling act. Who knows how much cash he was raking in during his career? I'm sure it wasn’t chump change. He could have had a salary bank account with the amount of money that looks like a phone number. The fact he had the capabilities to do whatever his artistic imagination carried him is uncanny. Who knows how phenomenal he would have became. The legacy he's concreted in time shows that he possess the ability to rebound from adversity. Carlos has overcome adversity time after time dating back to his childhood. Later he became a drug dealer but found himself unhappy with his choice of employment. Thereafter his prayers answered in the form of an infomercial; he and his brother opened Dope House Records. Dope House became the fastest grossing independent record label and was home to several up and coming artist such as: Pimpstress, Rasheed, Juan Gotti, and Baby Bash. Carlos became a shooting star and was an inspiration many.
ANONYMOUS: Would you say SPM's music has changed over the last ten years?

A letter & picture from Carlos Coy
YOUNG J: The music he's doing today is more relevant than ever. Actually in my opinion it's better. The stories he's telling are still him, but they are much more descriptive and has more feeling and emotion. I think the music (Head Engineer at Dope house Records)Pain and SPM have been making is even more purer.
ANONYMOUS: What do you think can be learned from SPM's situation?
YOUNG J: That the justice system will stop at nothing if they want to send a man or woman to prison bad enough. But I don't want to focus on just the negative. I'm a optimistic thinker. The fact is SPM is one of the most watched men in the TDCJ. He's in high segregation and has a camera facing his cell at all times. He can't leave his cell without being shackled up. He can't even get his own albums, but yet he's not letting these circumstances stop him from delivering the most anticipated music coming from a place where it is forbidden. That’s inspiration in itself. Everyone should be able to find some type of motivation to live their lives in a better way.
ANONYMOUS: What does Young  J represent?
YOUNG J: I represent the underdogs who are caught up in the struggle. I represent those fatherless and motherless kids and those kids who find them selves drawn into wreckless behavior. I represent the, "Player Race" that SPM has spoken about. I am not s Saint. I am no where near perfection nor do I pretend to be. I'm just a messenger delivering a message of love. If there's just one person out there who's stranded in the land of the lost, who can find any kind of hope from what I'm saying then I feel like I've succeeded. Without progress there will be not success.
ANONYMOUS: So what's next for Young J?
YOUNG J: I plan to continue blogging and on the May 25th I'll be going to check out that boy Lil Smitty's show. I'll be recording more video footage for a documentary video I’m working on. The hommie George will be coming through; the Dope House Army will be in full effect. If anyone is in the area come and chill with me and all the soldiers, and see Lil Smitty blow it up at his show. Turst me you can't loose. But, Real talk I'm just doing my thing and perfecting my crafts. I can't reveal too much but you can expect something.
ANONYMOUS: Thanks again J. It's always good to see you; I for one will be waiting to read more of your featured articles.
"Dope Sells Itself"
YOUNG J: No problem at all. Feel free to hit me up any time. Drop me an email or something and I'll be sure to respond as quickly as I can. Before I go I’d like to give props to the, "Free SPM Movement." Until Carlos Coy returns home, we will continue to hold it down for you.

SPM: SPIRTITUAL POWER MOVES

"A LETTER FROM THE EDITOR"
         What's good family? It's ya boy, Young J hitting you with an EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW "LIVE" with my hommie, the iconic legend, Carlos Coy. This interview was an honor to conduct and will go down in history among my very favorites, thank you Carlos.
         Young J

Currently Carlos Coy has been incarcerated for the past ten years. He has been through ten different prisons. As of now he is confined at the James V. Allred Unit. Carlos is a self-proclaimed, "Student of life." He is continuing to exercise his mind and educates himself. He reads tons of books and has proved to be an extremely gifted visionary writer. 
Carlos Coy was born in
Houston,Texas on October 5, 1970.

YOUNG J: You have inspired many people from all types of walks of life then and now. Including me. I read, when your career was taking off before each show, you would give a speech about the virtues of staying in school and staying away from drugs, keeping out of gangs and getting a job. You talked about the glories of families and responsible parenthood. I’ve heard those type of messages on your albums as well. What could you say to the younger generations who are just now catching on to the music you have put out?
CARLOS COY: I would say, “You deserve the very best in life, but only you can give yourself the best. Only you can study hard, listen in class, do your homework each night. Only you can say ‘no’ when so-called friends want you to do something stupid like drink alcohol, or smoke weed, or beat someone up, or steal, or etc. There will be many situations where you find yourself having to make a decision on whether to do something stupid or not. The hell with what people always think, always choose what’s right. We’re all old enough to know right from wrong. I don’t need to tell you that skipping school, or joining gangs, or making fun of someone is wrong. The greatest thing a person can do in this life is be kind. Our heart is a simple mechanism, and it’s really the secret to life. It pumps happiness into kind people, and pumps sadness into mean people. But some of us have lived such painful lives, that all we know how to do is be mean. That’s why I give you this understanding. Knowledge is power. If you know eating a certain berry will destroy your life, you won’t eat it. Well I’ve talked about two berries, being kind and being mean. Eat the right one, so that you’ll have a beautiful life.”
Carlos Coy and child hood
hommie during 1980.
YOUNG J: Who comes to visit it you?
CARLOS COY: My mom, dad, wife, kids, sister, brother, grandmother, grandfather (before he died), my bestfriend, Dope House employees, I’m only allowed to have ten people on my visiting list, and I can change my list every six months. So I make slight changes whenever I need to talk to someone that’s not already on my list.
YOUNG J: There’s been talk about a new album called The Son of Norma. Do you have any comments about that?
CARLOS COY: That’s funny you ask that, because just two days ago I got a letter from Pain Ortiz (Head Engineer at Dope House Records) and he informed me that the final set of instructions concerning The SON have been completed. That means the music part of the album is done. All seventeen songs have been mixed and mastered. Now, all that’s left is deciding the artwork. For example, what will the cover be? What will the insert artwork be? Are we doing anything special, like a free t-shirt offer, or putting a Dope House sticker inside, etc? Whatever we’re going to do, we need to get it done quick because people have waited long enough.
YOUNG J: I’ve heard there have been several complications with the album. Can you clear the air on that?
Carlos Coy, better known by his
stage name South Park Mexican.
CARLOS COY: There’s just a lot of work that has to be done before an album is ready to be pressed. If I were out there, I could get it done in weeks. But it’s more difficult being in prison, and weeks can take years, which was the case. But I’m glad we’re done. This will be the first album that will be released of which I didn’t get a chance to hear its final version. But I don’t care, I trust Pain and the staff at Digital Services, and I say, “Let it Roll.”
YOUNG J: As you may know over the last 10 years there have been several rumors circulating
about you stating you are dying from dieses and you have been killed. Obviously you’re not dead. How is your health?
CARLOS COY: I’ve heard about the one where I was killed, but not the one about dying from dieases. It must be a slow moving dieses because I been in this motherfucker ten years and I still don’t feel nothing. But I just did 800 push-ups with my homeboy, Wizard, last night. So I’m fine. No diseases thank God, and last I checked, I’m still warm.
YOUNG J: It has been documented you’re imprisoned with some of the most dangerous men. Has there ever been a period since you have been incarcerated you feared for your personal safety?
On May 30, 2002 Carlos Coy was
sentenced to 45 years in prison.
CARLOS COY: Right now, I’m in High Security Segregation, where they put the most dangerous confirmed gang members, and other inmates who are threats to the security of prison. But all they want from me is a signed picture for their kids, or friends, or other family members. I get nothing but love and respect, not only here, but in every prison I’ve been to. I’ve passed through over ten prisons, and lived in four of them. But these guys are well-connected, and they know more than you can imagine. And the word has spread about my trial, and how I got railroaded. They know all the crooked shit DA’s do when they really want someone behind bars.
YOUNG J: As your life takes sharp turns do you feel you have any reason to believe you fear for your life?
CARLOS COY: Definitely. If I’m not careful, the same way many men have died I will die too. My enemies are ice cream, nachos, chili bean burritos, Snickers w/almonds, Salsa Verde chips really all the chips.(We got like fifteen different kinds in commissary.) My good friend, Boy, died in 2010. He was my age. He just fell out in the shower. He was dead by the time they put him on the stretcher. Heart attack. I’m scared to death of it. But, obviously not too scared. I ate, like, six homemade enchiladas earlier, while listening to the football game.
YOUNG J: Can you comment on the future of Dope House records and any future SPM projects?
"Tryna stop the rise but the Mexican lives."
CARLOS COY: Our future is extremely bright. The SON (Son of Norma) will be (or is) the greatest rap album I’ve ever heard. I didn’t get to hear the mastered version, but I rapped that motherfucker, and no body on Earth can fuck with it. I know that sounds super boastful and braggy, but what do you want me to say? A lie? It’s straight crack. The only album that can fuck with it, is “Visionary” which will be the next SPM album after The SON. I’ll be getting out of High Security soon, and I’ll be back working with all our musical family: Lucky, Bash, Sheedy, Low, Grimm, Pimp, Powda, Coast, Quota, Gotti, Carolyn. I’ll be blessing all their projects. It’s crazy bright. All I do is thank God.
YOUNG J: What is the difference between Carlos Coy on the brink of stardom and the Carlos Coy as of today?
CARLOS COY: If you know me, you would know that I wasn’t on the brink of stardom. I was on the brink of death. I was fucked up every waking moment, and at war with a lot of pussy-ass niggaz. My
brand new limousine had just got shot 31 times by some punk-ass hoes. I was at the point of no return because that’s just who I was. I didn’t know how to handle fame, and my story would have ended like Screw’s, or Elvis’s, or Kurt’s, or Michael’s. I was the poorest man in the world, and all the
Carlos Coy speaks from
prison about his life.
bitch-ass haters were stupid enough to want my life. That’s why I say, never admire people with money or fame. That shit is the last thing that will bring you happiness. Today, I’m a man who knows I’ve been given a second chance. I’m happy as hell, and just loving the gift God has given me. I’m excited about my writing, not only songs, but books. I’m just doing so much planning for The SON, I haven’t been able to finish other projects. But I will, and I think I’ll do good.  
YOUNG J: At this point in your life what matters most to you?
CARLOS COY: God first. Then my kids and family. I’m sure most of us feel the same way. Aside from that, my passion has always been to help people. I so wish I had the answers too alleviate the social cancers of the world. I wish I could tell something to that abusive husband, that-self destructive kid, that drama prone girl, that dope dealing man that would make them understand what true happiness is. Everybody thinks money makes you rich, so they’ll do all kinds of shady shit to get it. The people that want, so badly, to be rich, are the ones who are unhappy and think money will make them happy. It’s fake happiness. The most valuable things on earth are beautiful relationships, but it takes work to build them. It takes lot of forgiveness, humbleness, kindness, patience to have these true treasures. So, many people just don’t have those traits so they do anything to get money so they can buy fake relationships. Go to the strip clubs and have a bunch of hoes that don’t give a fuck about you, but love your money. Have friends that love to spend time with you because you got money. All this shit ends in cruel fashion. It’s better to work on being honest, dependable, kind, thoughtful, considerate, so you can have beautiful people around you because you’re a good person. That’s what being rich is. That’s what I wish I could give the world.

Carlos Coy is eligible for parole in 2024.
His projected release date is April 8, 2047.

THE GREATEST & THE LATEST


"A LETTER FROM THE EDITOR"

Yo, it's your hommie “Young J” coming through live and direct. This is my first real editorial so please bier with me. However, I will say I'm very grateful to everyone who reads my material. But, my home boy SPM says, "This is art and art has no rules. Even if you make a mistake you can just say, “I meant to do that,” and no one can argue with you." The boy Carlos Coy always serves up some of the most amazing advice.

You can read more articles thorough the blog page which pertains to the dedication of the Free SPM Movement and the preservation of SPM's legacy.

Make sure you check out new never before seen footage of SPM. This contribution is courtesy of Miguel Sosa/8714 Films and the Free SPM Movement.

S/O out to my hommie: “Sickestvillan.”
Thanks for designing this flier.
Miguel Sosa is a chill mellow “Vatto” who knows the in's and outs of all the business. He says, "Square business is faire business." At the time when I met Miguel I was assured that our meeting was possibly fate. Mersaddies, Eloy, Marc, Andrew and Austin are some real hommies. There have been many people who I have met who are incredibly talented individuals. Some are dope graphic artist, some are business dudes. I've met tons of the dopest underground rappers who are better than some main stream rappers. No lie. I have met some of the realest G's from different hoods. I've learned so much valuable knowledge and gained inspiration from everyone. Miguel will always remain a real hommie and associate. I found it to be a real honor for myself to be one of the major promoters for 8714 Films. Promoting the, "SPM AND DOPE HOUSE RECORDS in CONCERT 2013" video will always go down as a special segment in SPM history. I remember when Miguel had told me he felt obligated to release his rare SPM footage. I had felt the same way because, "Why not?" Brand new footage of SPM just doesn't fall from the sky every day. It was crystal clear that what I was experiencing will never ever be duplicated again. I pulled a few strings and got some other people who were interested in working on this project.  As I was directing the worlds of social media I realized I was contributing something that could be very special to the, "Free SPM Movement" and everything SPM stands for. I recall getting "Inboxes" questioning if the rumors about new SPM footage was true. This particular discussion was brought up to my attention many times. I knew this was something every SPM fan had to see. I found out first hand that "GURILLA FILM MAKERS' from all over the world live by a certain code of honor. That honor I speak of is, "Integrity" and "Honor."

"This document is based on actual events."

Throughout the history of time one known fact has proven itself, time after time, there are always two side of a coin. No matter which way you look at, whether its heads or tales, both sides of the coin have its own unique stories deeply imbedded. Here's what happening with: "The Greatest & The Latest."
 
THE GREATEST:

 
Carlos Coy Sr.
Carley A. Coy
Carlos Coy Jr.
On one side of the coin you have Carlos Coy, inmate currently incarcerated at the James V. Alred Unit located on the out skirts borderline of Texas; near the State of OK. He is serving a 45 year sentence and has nearly 11 years accredited to him. Carlos Coy is known professionally as: "South Park Mexican." He's done the doubtable while he has been in prison; the legacy of SPM still resonates.

Dope House Records the long time label to SPM has released two albums. "When Devils Strikes" was released in 2006 it's been nearly five years since the last Dope House Records, SPM, album release of "The Last Chair Violinist." As of now Dope House Records is getting ready to release the third album of the imprisoned icon. Although there have been suggestions as to how the artist has been recording from prison, it still remains unclear. The SPM universe of fans and supporters eagerly wait for the newest SPM album titled "Son of Noma." SPM will be getting out of High Segregation soon.

The progression of Dope House Record's next release of SPM’s album: "Son of Norma" is still in progression. The release date is unknown as of now. However the Son of Norma Snippet which may appear on "YouTube" has been announced to be available on May 3rd 2013. I’d like to acknowledge all of my Dope House Army crew; they are always coming through live in the game.

THE LATEST:

Lil Smitty and Young J
On the flip side, I had a few brief phone calls with Smitty before I had met up with him and his homeboy, "Toker". Based on these phone calls I immediately understood he is an artist whose very much loyal to the game but just as humble. Smitty has South Park Mexican playing through his car speakers as he cut's through traffic heading to a, Young J Productions, photo shoot. About an hour passed and he’s just about to wrap up his photo shoot. Smitty mentions he would like to see what his photos are going to look like. He continues on to say it was time to get a bite to eat. Smitty shares his ideas for some future projects he’s interested to work on. He exit’s off the freeway and pulls into, "Alberto’s." Smitty and I both agreed Alberto’s has bomb burritos. We place our orders and continue our conversation while we eat our meals. Smitty explains concepts he has in mind for a music video.  Not long after he gets a phone call and says he has to go pick his homeboy by the name of, "C-Blunt."

As I stepped into the studio I was greeted a feisty small dog who looked similar to a Pit Bull, Smitty introduced me to his hommie C-Blunt.  We proceeded into a recording studio. I took a seat in a studio chair sitting next to the recording booth. C-Blunt sat at the boards as Smitty lounged on a couch. The two of them began going over their show CD for their performances. Tonight Smitty is a featured opening act for the legendary Oakland California rapper, "Too Short.' C-Blunt pulled out an unopened three pack of Coors Light from a small refrigerator. I declined the offer, Smitty grabs a cold 24oz. from C-Blunt as he pops the tab. Smitty put his can on the floor near his feet and C-Blunt takes a few gulps of beer and informs Smitty he's  going to take a shower. Smitty sits in C-Blunts chair and pulls up YouTube off the internet on a nearby computer and plays South Park Mexican instrumentals. Smitty reaches for his 24 ounce can of Coors Light, takes a quick glance at the can in his hand, and pops the tab and took a small gulp. He places his beer back on the floor. Smitty and I begin conversing about some of his favorite SPM tracks. At this point I was waiting for a battery for my camera to recharge. I had planned to use my camera later to record some of smitty's performance. As Smitty sits in front of me he uses this opportunity to spit a few freestyles. I instantly came to a conclusion that this would be good footage for me to record. I quickly reached for my video camera battery and as fast as I could, took the battery off the charger and placed it back into the video camera, I probably recorded about two freestyles which are to be estimated to be about seventeen minutes. Smitty had a few more sips of Coors Light. Just then C-Blunt returns ready to handle business tonight. It was time to get ready to go. Smitty had said people were waiting for him at his show.

After a 45 mines drive Smitty arrives to the parking lot of the venue. Smitty emerges from his car eyes are clear and looks to be in prime form. We begin to walk through the parking lot towards the event. We approach the venue main entrance. A security guard stands at the door checking for show tickets and those who were waiting to get in. I record some more footage of Smitty. I had got introduced to some of Smitty's boys while they met up. I could feel the bass pulsating through my body coming from the interior of the structure. We get in line and get searched by security before were cleared for entry. Inside, the main stage area is extremely hot and dark. The stage is occupied by some other featured performers. I now feel the bass fully erupting throughout my body. I follow Smitty as he makes his way through the on lookers. A sparkling disco ball and an eliminating black light hangs over head. The dance floor is packed with bumping and grinding guys and girls dancing. Smitty tells me he is set for his performance within the next two hours. I follow Smitty as he navigates his way through; he approaches a few people sitting near a barricade which separates the stage area from the dance floor. Smitty introduces me to more of his boys and those who have come out to his show. I located a bar and paid five bucks for an off brand bottle of water. I made my way through the massive crowd back to, the front row, where Smitty was chilling. Smitty watched the other performers and occasionally danced with a blue haired girl. I went outside to get some fresh air and check a voice message or two. Within the next twenty minutes I found myself on stage just minutes before Smitty would be taking the stage. A slew of others along with Smitty preformed their tracks. Smitty pays homage to the West Coast shouting, "West Coast." I was on the stage and the front row recording video footage for most of Smitty's performance. I found myself gazing through the video camera view finder, as I was panning, it became pretty obvious from my position everyone who is attendance is having a great time. Several people amongst the crowd were yelling and screaming, “West Side." Everyone made it clear what hood they were reppin. Smitty closed out his performance with a shout out to some of his boys. A somewhat sweaty Smitty exit’s the building to get some fresh air. While he’s outside he records another promo for the video I was filming. I met another of Smitty’s boys who was also on stage tonight; his name is, "Castro.' Smitty chilled with his boys for a moment but not long after everyone was heading back to the main stage area, Too Short, was about to appear soon on stage.

During Too Short's performance he did tracks like: On My Level, Blow The Whistle, I'm a Player, and a, oldie but goodie, old skool from the late 1980's. "Short Dogg," was definitely was in the house on this night. Too short was accompanied by an all-female back up dancers. He first got on stage with a huge opened bottle of "Patron." He did say he was drunk. And Too Short reminds you of his favorite word. Too bad I can't not share that with you what that word is. At the end of a 45 minute, Too Short, performance Smitty and his boys dipped out the spot; heading back to C-Blunts studio.

Lil Smitty’s next live show
will be on: May 25, 2013.
Some girls had happened to come through to chill. These girls were also at Smitty & C-Blunts show. Smitty chilled and spit two freestyles off the dome. I had recorded some portions of this freestyle session. Smitty dropped rhymes; I said, I thought his flows were dope. A laughing Smitty said that he was just F'in around. a couple of the girls names who's names are, "Tweeks" and "Barbie" were a couple of the girls who had stopped by;  C-blunt and the girls down shots of brandy. Just then, Smitty steps into the recording booth. He places the head phones on his head and steps to the mic. Over a “Lil Wayne” instrumental Smitty spits freestyle. This particular freestyle I have personally dubbed as, "Lil Smitty Epic Freestyle." The action was real and live this is for sure. I did not make it to sleep until that morning at 8
