Born in 1984 at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, in Kansas. Laurence Subelka lived his early childhood in the Oakland area of Topeka Kansas. He was raised by a single mother as his father walked out on the family before he was born. As Subelka got a bit older and drugs and gang violence became more ramped in Topeka, his mother decided to move outside city limits for the remainder of his childhood and all the way through High School. Subelka received many offers to play sports at the college level. He eventually chose to play football in college with the hopes of making it to the NFL. College brought Subelka fully out of his shell. His football skills gained him great popularity and with so many students in the school he found himself meeting with hundreds of aspiring artists who wanted to record tracks with him. This was the next step in the evolution of Mista CP. In 2010 CP signed to Central Playa Music where he has released 4 projects. The first project was a group mixtape titled THE CENTRAL PLAYAS 'Street Credit' (2011) which featured Mista CP along with fellow label mates M.O.S. and K. Curtis. The second was Mista CP's first studio album titled 'STILL GOLDEN' (2012). . His sophomore album 'NO SECURITY NEEDED' LP (2015), and his most recent release 'YEAR OF THE PLAYA' (2021). Currently Mista CP is working on his final album 'CLASSIC PLAYA'. The album features Jarren Benton, Wrekonize, Alan Wayne the Prodagy and BizzWho, Kung Fu Vampire, and many familiar CP collaborators.
