When did spm get famous?

The rapper SPM (South Park Mexican), whose real name is Carlos Coy, gained popularity in the early 2000s. He rose to fame within the Chicano rap scene with the release of his debut album "Hillwood" in 2001. The album featured his hit single "Lowrider," which became an instant classic and helped establish SPM's position in the music industry. His subsequent releases further cemented his status as one of the most prominent figures in Chicano rap. However, it's worth noting that his fame and recognition were primarily confined to the local and regional music scenes, and he had not achieved mainstream national fame at the level of some other rappers during that era.
