As a rising trendsetter in hip-hop’s underground, Autumn! (aka twinuzis) hasn’t let anything slow him down over the years. With his sights set on making music he’s passionate about, Autumn! isn’t the unoriginal type — further defining his eclectic new wave sound with each new release.
The Lafayette, Louisiana native details his hard-earned momentum built on the Soundcloud platform — catapulting himself into the conversation of “next up” out of the Underground. Kickstarting his career in the hopes to connect with his big brother, Autumn! speaks on his introductory steps that led to his full immersion into producing his own music, helping him become one of the underground’s most versatile producer-rappers.
While his demand on the production front continued to build, Autumn! picked up the pace behind the mic, as he was inspired and motivated to record by his closest collaborators. Autumn! also sheds light on the dark side of music, speaking on his bouts with mental health as the chaos ensues — now having a tighter grip on his sonic wheel.
Recently releasing his album “Golden Child, Chapter 1,” Autumn!’s knack for creating melodic hooks over hard plugg production further demonstrates his rise in the new wave. Recently dropping his single “Monster” July 19, Autumn! looks to keep things rolling — not only understanding the need to uphold the appreciation around his music and catalog, but also demonstrates a high level of maturity and humility in his artistic development.
As his star methodically rises, Autumn! sat down with OGM host Hakeem Rowe to discuss his moniker as twiuzis, his collaborations with Lil Tecca, summrs and more in his Our Generation exclusive interview.
