‘The Voice of Youth – N-Dubz are easily as culturally significany now as any guitar band you care to name.’ NME
‘Britain’s No. 1 band.’ The Sun
Product Description
Over the past year homegrown hip-hop sensation N-Dubz have morphed from an underground phenomenon to a commercial monster.
Take a trip inside the N-Dubz world of catchy lyrics, street smart style and funky beats and discover the real story of the band everyone’s talking about.
Although still only in their early 20s, N-Dubz are anything but an overnight sensation. The band was born some eight years ago, in one of the roughest parts of Camden. Still in school and barely into their teens, cousins Dappy and Tulisa met third member Fazer and set about making their first beats. Drawing inspiration from the then booming UK garage scene, the charismatic trio slowly honed their sound, developing their unique style for which they have now become known and loved.
Living proof that you don't need to take part in a reality TV show to make it in the music industry, Dappy, Tulisa and Fazer have trodden a long and rocky road on their quest to become pop superstars. Here, for the first time, they will reveal all about their years of hard work and perserverance. From being snapped up by Polydor and scoring their first top 20 hit, to being thrown into personal turmoil following the tragic death of Dappy's father and the band's devoted manager Uncle B.
Packed full of fascinating stories and hundreds of never-before-seen photographs of the band, including exclusive backstage shots and personal family snaps, this book will give a unique insight into the N-Dubz can-do way of mind. Customers will also get access to exclusive audio and video content from the band.
The band transcended all expectations with their debut album Uncle B, selling over 500,000 copies in the UK alone and spawning six hit singles. Now, with a No. 1 single, three MOBO Awards, plus a critically acclaimed sell out UK tour under their belts, they are finally being given the recognition that they deserve.
With their second album going platinum within a month of being released, their second tour scheduled for April, and their sights firmly set on breaking the US as well, 2010 looks set to be the year of N-Dubz!

I adore N-Dubz, they are my idols. I look up to them so much and this book just gives me more reason to. They don't hold back with anything in this book, if you want to know N-Dubz, past and present, you can find it all in this book. They are such good role models. Even though some of the stuff they used to do isn't exactly advisory for young children, they make it clear that they knew they were in the wrong and stuff. They showed that you need an education to be successful. Even though they got kicked out of schools, they regret it. As they mention in the book. It is emotional when Dappy speaks about his Father, I did almost cry at it. This book had me laughing, nearly crying, smiling, 'aww'ing, gasping and more. What more could you want from a book? The photo's they have included in this book are so cute too, of when they were babies and young teenagers, and some of when they've been performing. They've even got pictures that the public has taken of them. They've included a thank you's page at the back of the book which is real sweet. When I read this book I could sort of imagine how they would say it in person as they have typed it up in their kind of speak. Also, there is a sticker on the front of the book that allows you to get exclusive access to see a remix of I Need You that's never been shown before, a behind the scenes video and a guide to N-Dubz 'Slanguage'. It's great. An amazing read. It's definitely a must have for any N-Dubz fan (N-Dublet). Even if you're not that much of a fan but like some of their music, it's still a brilliant read! I recommend it to everyone! :D

I bought this book for my ten year old son who's a big N-Dubz fan. I was a bit concerned that it might not be suitable material for a youngster, so I had a flick through before giving it to him. However, I was quite happy with the content. My son was delighted with the book. What's not to like?
