Tinchy Stryder's new album may surprise fans, as he says the CD is "less fierce" and more "deep" than his last record.

The rapper is set to release, 'Third Strike' in October, as the follow-up to 2009's 'Catch 22'.

Talking about the album, Tinchy said, "The sound, maybe the lyrics too in a way. It's less fierce, less hands in the air, man. I never say this about my own music but when I'm listening back, I'm getting goosebumps. It's got something about it. It's real deep."

Stryder continued, "People was a bit shocked at 'Gangsta?'. The title is ironic and, once you've attuned yourself to the speed of the lyrics, so are the words."
