 Late Below Street Level LP

This is a confident release from the veteran Wolftown representer and member of the Houston crew Southpark Coalition (S.P.C). It features many transatlantic collabos including songs with the criminally underrated K-Rino as well as Dope-E, JT the Bigga Figga etc. The standout track is 'It's Nothin' featuring Willie D from the Geto Boys, where Late shows he can hold his own with gangsta rap legends on a track. Late is not a guy with many flows and isn't the greatest MC in the British Isles but here is a wide variety of themes and sounds making for a diverse album.

There is some polished production here with a strong Southern U.S influence (some of the melodies are familiar) and there's some nice radio friendly hooks (many featuring Jai Boo). This release definitely shows it's onwards and upwards for Late.
