In an interview with Our Generation Music, Autumn! spoke about his stage name and how he obtained the name:
"I ain’t gon' lie, I wish I had a deep one. I wish I had like a deeper story or like a cool story. So you know, Summrs!, you know that’s my brother and shit. He was rapping before me. When he was rapping, I would just produce it for him, you feel me? And I just noticed like he was catching up to me so fast and he passed me up and I was like ‘Damn, maybe I should start rapping.’ He was like ‘Bro, just start rapping.’ And I was like fuck it, I'ma just be Autumn! I ain’t even think about it, I was like shit, Autumn! come after Summer, so I started rapping after you, so I'ma just be Autumn!. I was joking but it just stuck, so I was like fuck it."
In that same interview, Autumn! had also spoke about his producer name TwinUzis and how he obtained the producer name:
"I kind of just took that as my producer name because I always thought it was still like a hard name. I dont want to leave it behind. I didn’t wanna just be Autumn! and be like ‘Oh, produced by Autumn!,’ like nah."
At the age of 11, Autumn! started producing after he taught himself using the recording program MixCraft, and has since continued to make beats after his brother moved away. Autumn! released his debut project, Happy Birthday, in June 2017 while working exclusively as a producer. His November 2018 mixtape, ##R3 ##R3, would gain traction on multiple platforms— particularly “Nina!” becoming one of his breakout songs. The Louisiana native would drop fourteen projects over three years, ending with September 2021’s Not Much Left.
Some of his affiliates include the likes of Summrs, Lil Candypaint and Izaya Tiji among others. The Houston resident would also become close with the New York artist, Lil Tecca, who would feature on the remix of one of his most streamed songs, "Still The Same!".
On December 3, 2021, he released his highly anticipated single, "One Way!” The track’s leak was heavily pushed by TikTok, gaining the artist newfound, mainstream attraction. Thanks to the huge success of "One Way!,” he would land himself a deal with Victor Victor. Autumn! would continue to release a slew of singles under the label, which led up to the release of his debut major-label album Antagonist!, released on April 29, 2022.
Following the release of Antagonist!, Autumn! released two new projects in 2022, one being the ##B4GC2 ##B4GC2 EP on July 28, 2022, which led up to his second major-label project, Golden Child, Chapter 2, released on August 26, 2022. The mixtape would be his last project with Victor Victor, as Autumn! soon left the label to become an independent artist again. Ending off 2022, Autumn! released the song “You > Them (Hate It!),” which also saw a heavy push through TikTok thanks to a snippet leak, further boosting Autumn!’s career.

Autumn! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You 'fore I hit your friend
Top floor shit, yeah, penthouse shit, yeah
That's just what we in
Hopped right out of that Beamer
Broski hopped right out of that Benz
None of these bitches know my name, yeah
They just call me Twin
And I don't even want no friends
They ruthless, and they clueless
I'm just focused on them M's
And good music, gettin' to it
Niggas always say they gon' spin
And don't do it, it's so goofy
Wanna know what I be in
I'm just coolin' with my Ksubi
Already know what I'm in
White tee, in my Ksubis
All the bullshit make me grin
It's just funny, you so stupid
New G-LO-C-K's in can't wait to go use it
I don't really think you're my
Speed, but fuck it, that's your problem
Nigga still pourin' up that green
And don't know why he nauseous
D-R-A-C-O on me, so you better be cautious
