On his tenth studio album "Zero Tolerance", UK rap pioneer Giggs presents a hard-hitting body of work displaying once again why he remains among grime's hardest figures.
Across 18 brutal tracks, Giggs relates uncompromising stories of street life over dark, menacing beats from producers like Fred again.. and JBeatz. His vicious rhymes are delivered with a snarl through distorted vocals that enhance the music's gritty edge.
Songs like "Computers" and "Chucks" find Giggs braggadociously spitting double-time flows to further cement his technical abilities. While gritty bloke anthems like "Redrum" highlight how comfortably he can slide into grime's most elemental styles.
Features from UK affiliates like M Huncho and Potter Payper add energy, while tracks like "Drawing Pin" show rare vulnerability in confessional form.
Instrumentally, Zero Tolerance pulls no punches with its moody, cinematic aesthetic of skittering hi-hats, sub-bass rattling low-ends and ambient textures.
At over an hour, it feels more like an audiobook than album, drawing listeners deep into Giggs' unfiltered world. For authentic underground rap, Zero Tolerance delivers with Giggs at his uncompromising best.
