    An eclectic piece of work that manages to be tender, powerful, and profoundly honest. It deep dives into personal loss and domestic issues through prose and grace without losing a hint of truth in it. It is bare in the way it is eager to voice out emotions of responsibility, grievance, guidance, appreciation, laughter, and the idea of wanting to be with people whom we would wish to shareAn eclectic piece of work that manages to be tender, powerful, and profoundly honest. It deep dives into personal loss and domestic issues through prose and grace without losing a hint of truth in it. It is bare in the way it is eager to voice out emotions of responsibility, grievance, guidance, appreciation, laughter, and the idea of wanting to be with people whom we would wish to share life with. In particular, it is the central concept of life and the world that we are brought into in this humble album that really manages to give it a kick. He is now basically one of my favorite artists of all time and for such a wonderful debut, I would give it an 8/10. A real gem. Expand

    It’s an honest, soulful and superbly well-executed body of work, and one of the best British rap debuts for a long time.

    Yesterday’s Gone is one of the finest debuts you’ll hear for quite some time.

    British hip-hop finally got serious--and Loyle Carner is leading the charge.
