AC intially started writing music at the age of 11, to cope with the absence of his father Adrian Eugene Housley. His father hailing from the Southside of Chicago, Illinois was in prison the majority of his childhood for selling drugs which left AC with limited man advice except when visits to the correctional facilities every blue moon. AC's mom struggled with drug addiction the first 4 years of his life and later found God and a career in counseling/education and never looked back. She owns two master degrees from Prarie View University. Raising two kids alone she did what she could in attempts to avoid her children from seeing the reality of PA, she'd fly them many summers to Hampton, Virginia to her sisters (Sandra G. Robertson). Which AC's credits alot of him beeing able to see the world from 30,000 feet in the air at a young age gave him the inspiration to always want more. But the visits were only temporary and things that he's done & witnessed has a heavy influence on his art.

EARLY YEARS

AC's first taste of independent freedom he attended Woodrow Wilson Middle School. Him & Bestfriend Cartel Pellum created hip hop group STREET CAMP (staying true & real each & every track & caring about my people). They would record acapella freestyle's on the front porch of there friends on a tape recorder, package the cassettes up and sell out on campus. C- Hustle's passion for basketball in high school made it deficult for the duo to continue, so AC's carried the torch & added an additon of 11 artist under his wing to continue creating mixtapes that would give them a buzz at Memorial High School. Senior year AC was introduced to PIMP C's go to engineer Averexx, by S.B. also known as Samuel Bordelon. Averexx would began to be like a father figure/ mentor to young AC by teaching him how to mix his own music, and the basic's of creating a hit record. At this time Pimp C was fresh of prison so AC got to witness multiple recording sessions. " I remember one session i was in with PIMP C he recorded allnight, the next day i turn on the channel he was on 106 & park. I knew than its nothing else id possible wanna become in this lifetime" ac recalls. August of 2007 AC attended, Texas Southern University. "My mother was an educator so nataurally she pushed a degree was the only way, but i just always felt that wasnt my lane, ac recalls. Second semester Averexx came with a apartment recording set-up to my spot in greystone and we banged out an mixtape in one day. The next day we attempted to go to class and he basically told me i wasnt going because i was a star & i believed him and never went back & the rest is history lol" ac states.
