ACJC creates a unique sound by fusing Reggae instruments with southern hip-hop sounds. The new sound is captivating and appealing to various demographics and cultures. ACJC notes that he derives his inspiration from various top artists in the industry, such as Beres Hammond, Sizzla, Vanilla Ice, M.C. Hammer, and the late music legend, Michael Jackson.

A unique sound in the music industry is a highly-valued characteristic since it makes you stand out. Apart from having a unique melody, ACJC has a deep and raspy voice that is a sound of its own.

As an independent artist, ACJC has to put in much more effort and hard work to achieve his musical goals. His entry into the industry can be termed as creating a route for others to follow. Despite being new in the game, he boasts of significant accomplishments. These include a song, “Feel Me” – featuring YFN Lucci, released on October 20, 2022, by Lambo Speed recording label. ACJC notes that he’s a massive fan of YFNL Lucci, and recording a song together was a huge success for him.

His other achievements in the field include a performance at Quarter Past Lit Festival on September 17, 2022. In addition, he says that his single, “Back Up”, approved by organic radio placement with Streetz 95.5, is a massive achievement since it’s hard to get radio play as an independent artist.

Through him, ACJC wants others to learn that there is enough money and space for everyone in the musical field and that any goal can be achieved with the right drive. He also notes that the black community needs authentic leadership and positive influence, and rappers should promote hustles outside of music. He says that if rappers were open to what they do and their interests outside music, it would positively influence the youth.

When speaking about his visions and aspirations, ACJC is determined to see Lambo Speed become one of the most popular independent labels. He also wants the label to become a creative hub for growth and positive guidance for the youth.

If you have been yearning for a new and unique sound in hip-hop culture, ACJC has it all. His work ethic and ability to strive as an independent artist despite all the odds in the industry will make him a top name in the hip-hop community. So stream and enjoy his music as you wait for new and huge projects.
