UK rap veteran LATE returns with his latest project, Transcribed Thoughts — a raw, hard-hitting 5-track EP entirely produced by long-time collaborator Tricksta.
Known for his authenticity and unwavering consistency, LATE delivers sharp lyricism and street-wisdom across this compact yet powerful offering.
Opening with the atmospheric "It’s Raining", LATE sets the tone with introspective bars over moody production, painting vivid scenes of personal battles and urban struggle.
He keeps the momentum rolling with "Most Consistent"featuring Airklipz, a track that lives up to its title, showcasing years of dedication and lyrical mastery.
On
"Decay", LATE links up with Trademark Blud to explore themes of survival and societal breakdown over dark, cinematic beats.
The icy soundscape of "The Roads are Frosty" captures the cold realities of street life with haunting precision, while the closer
"One Step Ahead" serves as a triumphant finale — a declaration of resilience, strategy, and self-belief.
Tricksta’s production provides a gritty, classic UK hip-hop foundation throughout the project, giving LATE’s rhymes the space to breathe and resonate. Transcribed Thoughts is a concise statement of intent from an artist who has never wavered — staying true to the culture while continuing to evolve.
Transcribed Thoughts is now available on all major streaming platforms.
