    His clear-eyed spoken-word and stylish beatmaking, both sharpened since his 2021 eponymous debut, combine for a brutal, complex study of his city. The key to the album’s brilliance is Balfe’s darting between small, succinct portraits, from barflies to beatings.

    With the album being centred around the concept of time, ‘Carving The Stone’ feels like it will stand the test of it.

    It’s rare to find an album this rich in meaning.
