Autumn! – “Rolling Stone” review

Lafayette, Louisiana rapper, singer/songwriter & producer Autumn! starting the 4th quarter of 2025 with his 6th LP. Gaining traction off all 19 of his previous 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 nearly 3 years ago with his sophomore effort Antagonist! as well as following it up with the last 2 installments of the Golden Child trilogy & Midnight Club. Wick delivered a sequel to Solitary last spring, You Never Was Mine in the summer & ##B4B2MR in the winter. After going Back 2 My Roots this spring, he’s taking on the persona of a Rolling Stone.

The self-produced “Hermes Carpet!” opens with a pluggnb intro telling his ex that her new man can’t ever take his spot whereas “Keys to the Benz!” psychedelically talks about trying to see what’s going through his lover’s mind. “Eddie Wuncler!” gives off a bit of a drum & bass vibe venting over a woman trying to get with him prior until the confidentially tropical “Trip to the Islands!” talks about never getting back what was stolen from him.

“Rebound!” reaches the halfway point of the album with an ambient plugg direction discussing champagne being the only kind of pain he knows while “Tired of Running!” talks about wanting to make this chick his. “Caught in Your Storm!” describes the certain type of fire in his partner’s eyes on the pluggnb tip while “Waiting for Love!” promises to rob anyone who fuck with his romantic interest over a vocal sample.

The song “Private Locations” begins to wrap up Rolling Stone’s final moments with Wick talking about going from filling out job applications almost a decade ago to becoming a rockstar meeting with hoes discreetly while “When You Left! / 1 Way! 3” finishes twinuzis’ 2nd full-length of 2025 in the form of a 2-parter thanking the ex that inspired him to make the biggest song of his career, which the 2nd half is the trilogy chapter of.

“No More Talking!” starts the deluxe run with a psychedelic plugg beat making it clear that some of the money he be making isn’t all clean while “Get Out the Way!” shares that very same advice to anybody in his face who’s broke. The rage-inducing “Canon Event!” talks about being in the fast lane & after “Better Off Alone!” admits he was lost for a second, “Finally Rich!” finds himself unable to resist flexing on his competition.

We get some synthesizers during “No Breaks!” talking about being under the impression at a hoe made a wish in the shooting star a.k.a. his Wraith while “Critical!” explaining that this paper is all he’s getting as of late. “Chopsticks!” warns that he carries 2 Glocks on him as if he’s Mad Max & the final bonus track “Devil in Miami!” talks about praying for a woman who met Lucifer himself in the 305.

Standing beside Back 2 My Roots in terms of being the greatest material Autumn! has made since signing to 10K Projects regardless of the latter from this spring feeling repetitive to others, his production on this one primarily focuses on the styles of pop rap as well as trap & alternative R&B rather than maintaining the plugg/pluggnb origins he returned to 6 months ago giving a glimpse of where he’s at in his career almost heading into 2026.

Score: 4/5

Roy Wood$ – “Rolling Stone” review

Roy Wood$ is a 28 year old rapper & singer/songwriter from Brampton, Ontario, Canada whom Drake signed to OVO Sound a decade ago already. He has since gone on to release a total of 3 full-length studio LPs & 3 EPs, with the most notable of the handful being the 2015 debut EP Exis & of course the debut album Walking at Dawn the following winter. Following the sophomore effort Say Less, his output since then has been welcomed to generally mixed to negative responses across the spectrum & I wanted to go into his 4th EP open minded.

“Solo” is this mediocrely melodic trap opening talking about the way this bitch be freakin’ him whereas “She Don’t Care About My Name” feels like a throwback to his earlier stuff from the atmospheric instrumental to the heartbroken lyrics explaining that this particular romantic interest could give a fuck less of getting to know him more. “Rockstar Baby” hooks up some pianos & hi-hats to talk about his new chick being so down while “Outside” hops over a generic trap beat tryna take this woman out of the party.

The song “Hold Still” reaches the starting point of Rolling Stone’s final leg by heading for a cloudy direction instrumentally & laying these thirsty ass lyrics on top of it prior to “Bring It to the Room” hilariously ripping off The Weeknd, who Drake almost signed to OVO & fell out with him after dissing on the We Still Don’t Trust You highlight “All to Myself” this spring. “Nobody Else” featuring 03 Greedo ends the EP talking about a woman who doesn’t want anyone else loving her & Greedo going the hardest.

My opinions on some of the OVO artists’ latest output including Majid Jordan’s 4th album Good People named after the singer/producer duo’s original moniker or Naomi Sharon’s debut album Obsidian & namely PARTYNEXTDOOR’s 4th album PARTYNEXTDOOR 4 haven’t really changed, but Rolling Stone has to be the most underwhelming body of work that the camp has put out in a while. The production is generally subpar & Roy himself sounds like as if he’s uninterested for at least 60% of the time.

Score: 2/5
