A-1

Better known by his stage name, A-1 is a first generation American rapper from the San Francisco Bay Area. Born and raised in the Mission District of San Francisco by two immigrant parents, A-1 was introduced to an extreme diversity of culture from a young age. Growing up in a working class family, and being exposed to so many walks of life helped define A-1′s open-minded and charismatic nature, as well as added to his creative and artistic abilities.
