LATE returns with Five Windows, a bold and introspective 5-track EP produced entirely by renowned beat-maker Tricksta. Known for his gritty realism and no-frills lyricism,
LATE once again proves why he remains a vital voice in UK hip-hop, delivering a project that’s both personal and universally resonant.
Each track on Five Windows serves as a different perspective, a “window” into a specific mindset, emotion, or moment.
The EP opens with “Generate Heat”, a powerful statement of intent. Over a pounding, cinematic beat, LATE sets the tone with fiery bars, reminding listeners he’s still burning with hunger and purpose.
“High on Life” shifts the energy with a more uplifting bounce, a track that celebrates perseverance, gratitude, and staying grounded despite the odds. It’s a moment of light in the midst of the EP’s raw honesty.
On “Movie Greats”, LATE draws parallels between iconic film characters and real-life struggles. With vivid storytelling and clever metaphors, he paints a picture of survival, ambition, and identity in a world that often blurs fact and fiction.
“No Compassion” brings the EP’s darkest and most uncompromising moment, a cold, street-smart reflection on loyalty, betrayal, and the hard lessons that come with staying real in a fake world.
Closing the project is “Chasing Everyone’s Dream”, a deeply personal and reflective track that questions society’s expectations, the music industry’s illusions, and the pressure to conform. It’s LATE at his most vulnerable, but also his most powerful.
Backed by Tricksta’s diverse, atmospheric production, Five Windows is a concise yet potent body of work that captures the essence of LATE’s journey, mindset, and message.
Five Windows is out now on all digital platforms.
