The
South Park Mexican
(Carlos Coy),and his label, Dope House Records were being courted by several
major labels, who were interested in handling the marketing and
distribution of the label’s releases. He settled for Universal,
which also has Def Jam, and Cash Money Records, in a deal worth
an estimated $12 Million dollars. The South Park Mexican has taken
his independent label from selling a couple hundred tapes, to
pulling in $40,000 dollars per month, as well as directing his
videos, before going with a major. SPM released a documentary
he produced called “Mary-Go-Round” The Dope House Documentary.
The flick is 80 minutes, and is worth buying. Other artists on
Dope House are: The Hillwood Hustlaz, Rasheed, Low G, 24-7, Grimm
and Pimpstress. The Southpark Mexican was doing well on his own,
owning a recording studio, 23 company vans, and a six story office
building.
