This is the 4th full-length album from Louisiana rapper, singer/songwriter & producer Autumn!. Emerging off of 16 EPs & a full-length debut on SoundCloud since 2018 prior to signing to Victor Victor Worldwide & Republic Records right following the Not Much Left EP, he made his major label debut last spring with his sophomore album Antagonist! as well as following it up with ##B4GC2 & Golden Child 2. However, he’s coming off ##B4GC3 & of course Golden Child 3 by dropping Midnight Club holding fans off until a sequel down the road.
“2 Chrome Necklaces!” is a wavy trap opener discussing his lifestyle & essentially serving as a peace offering to Yeat after they’ve been beefing for the past couple years whereas “Cocaine Diamonds!”takes a more euphoric route instrumentally talking about disappearing & reappearing like David Blaine. “She Say He Say!” however comes through with a trippy loop & hi-hats making it known who the flyest & realest couple in the game is, but then “Black Truck Greeters!” goes on to drop braggadocio over some punky drums & auto-tuned vocals.
To start the 2nd leg of the album, “Some of My!” works in some hi-hats & a shredding guitar riff getting in depth about a few of the bitches he’s had in his life that is until “Just Like Me!” details how the main woman in Wick’s life is similar to him in many ways with some cool rage undertones. “Abloh!” is the long-awaited tribute track to the iconic Off-White founder, Louis Vuitton artistic director & DONDA creative director Virgil Abloh going into more piano-driven turf leading into the atmospheric “Faith!” exploring how Twinuzis’ girl wants him to put his actual faith in her.
“Biggest Flaw!” gives off a syrupy, mellow flare finding out what’s going on in this woman’s head just before the poppy, cloudy “Chanelly & Birkin!”confessed that he’s found the perfect one for him. “4GSeller!” delving more into his lifestyle paying homage to the clothing store in New York until “Survive the Fall!” fuses elements of trap & rock to close out the album by declaring this his last call & having thoughts of suicide.
Golden Child 3 was a great conclusion to the trilogy that introduced me to Autumn! in the first place & the best full-length LP in his catalog yet. However, Midnight Club is right behind it without question. Wick’s ever-so stunning production is gradually evolving more & not only is is songwriting catchy, but so are his catchy vocal performances as he takes us through the way he lives. Twinuzis really went back-to-back in 2023 in only 5 months.
Score: 3.5/5
