West Coast Offense Music
I'm Active-One. DJ/MC/Producer. West Coast Offense is the name of my Production/Entertainment label. I'm a native of South Central L.A., now living in Fresno. After becoming a father in 2000, I took a hiatus from hip-hop so I could be a man for my new family. With my love of hip-hop never waning, I'm refocused and dedicated to completing my first project and stay busy in hip-hop.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not since I lived in L.A. I plan on performing in the future.
