West's music career began as a frequent collaborator in tha Louisiana rap business. West was featured on over 20 releases in tha undaground business, keepin' his soul active for tha undaground headz to devour. In May of 1993, West was a Production Coordinator for Hard Head Records, till tha end of 1995. Following up tha label work, in January of 1996, West became tha Vice President for Ruff Era Records, till tha end of 1999. Shifting more to an urban contemporary/gospel sound to kick off tha new millennium, in 2000, West, Dominic Davis & Larry Jones formed Collage III. Shortly after, West became tha owner of Collage III's label, Collage Worldwide Entertainment. In 2001, Collage III released their debut album, Living The Lyrics, on Collage Entertainment. In September of 2006, West became tha owner of Nu-City Construction & in May of 2007, he became tha director of One Vision, One Voice, designing "an innovative program for students to experience the academic discipline, art & business of music, while adding to their repertoire of artistic expression." In 2013, Collage III released another album, Under Construction, courtesy of Collage Worldwide Entertainment. West kept his passion goin' for music until April 3, 2020, when he passed away from Coronavirus complications. If West made it to see July 29th of this year, he woulda turned 52 years-old.
