Lafayette, Louisiana rapper, singer/songwriter & producer Autumn! starting his 2024 by releasing his 20th EP. Gaining traction off all his previous EPs & a full-length debut on SoundCloud since 2018 prior to signing to Victor Victor Worldwide & Republic Recordsright following the Not Much Left EP, he made his major label debut nearly 2 years ago with his sophomore album Antagonist! as well as following it up with the last 2 installments of the Golden Child trilogy & Midnight Club. Ahead of Pretty Girls & Fast Cars however, we’re being treated to a Solitary sequel first.
“Where Yo Cash At!” begins the EP on an airy plugg note calling cap over those lying about how much money they really have whereas Not One!” takes the playful trap route instrumentally clarifying that he only fucks hoes as opposed to being in love with them. “Can’t Keep Up!” futuristically gives insight into Twinuzis’ relations & his issues with women only caring about his wealth rather than him, but then “Up to Speed!” kinda has this rage-inducing vibe to the beat talking about needing P’s instead of hoes.
The cloudy, self-produced 2-parter “Richer Man! / Get In Yo Bag!” expressing self-awareness of them being mad ’cause he hates rappin’ & it still made him $1M alongside getting out of your feelings to by stacking your chips while the dynamically atmospheric “Balmain! / Self Healing!” begins with an ode to the French luxury fashion house of the same name & that playing with money is self care for him. “Solitude!” hooks up some synths & hi-hats to overcome his past struggles just before the moody “Don’t Come Around!” explains that she’s just not the one for him.
“What’s the Point!” spaciously begins the final leg of the EP by trying to figure out what the point is of everyone trying to come & test him leading into “Average Night!” going for a subdued plugg sound describing what a regular night is for him at this point. “Uptown Coolin’” finishes Solitary 2 with this cloudy trap teaser to Pretty Girls & Fast Cars talking about the dreams of a young kid who has to use cracked programs to make a vision coming into reality.
Nevertheless of Solitary coming out only 6 months before I started listening & reviewing Wick’s music if I’m being honest with myself, the sequel over here takes everything that made it’s predecessor exciting & taking it to a new level. You still get the cloudy, poppy trap rap from previously with the pluggnb undertones along with him occasionally dabbling in rage for the first time in a couple years considering the last time we heard him in that particular style was Antagonist!.
Score: 3.5/5
