Benjamin Clarence Phillips Jr. (born June 24, 1997), known professionally as Autumn (stylized as Autumn!), formerly TrapGodBenji, is an American rapper and record producer. He is best known for popularizing the hip hop microgenre pluggnb, alongside Victor Victor Worldwide labelmate Summrs, and Texas rapper Kankan.
Personal life
Benjamin Clarence Phillips Jr. was born in Lafayette, Louisiana, where he grew up in poverty. He lived with his grandmother, great-grandfather, siblings, and cousins in a crowded house until he was five. He attended Lafayette High School and graduated in 2015.
In a 2022 interview, Phillips revealed that he had gone to college for a brief period of time before dropping out.
Phillips’s dating life has stayed mostly under the radar; however, in 2020, he was in a public relationship with fellow rapper Bktherula.
In 2020-2021, Phillips was close with his music collective SlayWorld, featuring artists like Summrs, a friend of Philips before Slayworld; Kankan, a Texas rapper he later fell out with; and Goonie, founder of SlayWorld.
Phillips does vlogs on YouTube under the name "Ibecrashingalot". Phillips is close with his manager Saweb and fellow Atlanta vlogger Quan.
Career
Phillips played the trumpet and piano from a young age. At age 11, Phillips began producing music on the program Mixcraft to impress his older brother, who also made music. He donned the name "TrapGodBenji" and the producer name "TwinUzis".
Phillips met fellow Lafayette rapper Summrs online, at the time known as "LouisVeeDee". He later encouraged Phillips to start rapping as well, which is when he donned the name "Autumn!" and started rapping with Summrs.
He quit his job at Walmart to focus on his music career in late 2017. Phillips has stated that his focus is not on material possessions but on the feeling of achievement from his career.
Phillips consistently released music from late 2017 through 2018, including albums L$D, ##Retribution, ##R3 ##R3 and multiple others. Phillips broke through in mid-2019, when the song "Nina!" went viral on social media platform TikTok. Phillips reportedly made it as a filler song to one of his albums. During this time, he was part of the collectives HellWorld and later SlayWorld.
In 2020, Phillips released albums Solitary and Ils Verront, alongside multiple EPs and singles such as "Comedy!" and "Still the Same!".
In 2021, Phillips signed with Victor Victor Worldwide and released the album Golden Child: Chapter 1. Additionally, he released the EP Not Much Left, with two out of the three songs featuring frequent collaborator Summrs.
In 2022, Phillips released albums Antagonist and Golden Child: Chapter 2. At the end of the year he dropped the EP ##B4GC3 ##B4GC3, followed by Golden Child: Chapter 3 in early 2023. This was his biggest album to date, and serves as a coming-of-age album, featuring multiple sounds from his career. Phillips released Midnight Club in late 2023, which moved away from pluggnb.
In 2024, Phillips' career slowed down slightly, releasing albums Solitary 2 and You Never Was Mine. In 2025, Phillips released the album B2MR, an album attempting to go back to his old sound, receiving little buzz online; and Rolling Stone, a well-received album.
