Product Description
Amazon.co.uk
Dappy, Tulisa and Faze are a trio of young rappers/vocalists from Camden who have been working hard to build up a solid UK fan base, putting on energetic live shows and diligently touring British secondary schools. Their work ethic has paid dividends, since the trio are now regarded by many as teen pop idols, and rightly so: their debut album, Uncle B, is an immediately likeable record that manages to blend big, hooky pop choruses with some serious ‘urban’ credentials - despite the group’s age and radio-friendly lyrics. The production – r&b mixed with UK-grime-lite rather than straight up rap – is equally compelling, with coruscating melodies and stuttering beats providing an edgy yet appealing soundtrack for Dappy and Faze’s London twangs and Tulisa’s powerful vocals. Faster tracks are broken up with ballads like “Ouch” and “Secrets,” and though the rapping is occasionally awkward and the lyrics sometimes clichéd (The Streets they are not), this is a confident, mature and highly impressive debut. --Danny McKenna

I bought this album on the strength of 'Strong again' and 'Wouldn't you', and the rest of the album didn't disappoint. Strong lyrics and a strong beat, most of the songs make reference to 'Uncle B' and the guidence and support he gave to the band in its early days, before his untimely passing. Keep an open mind if you, like me, didn't know too much about N-Dubz before buying this album. I must admit that this is not the kind of music I listen to, however, after listening to the album several times, I was completely won over. I am now a fan of this band and look forward to all their upcoming, future material.

I absolutely love N-Dubz and am a huge fan of theirs and I think this album is amazing. It has a really good mix of tracks which showcase all their talents. Dappy and Fazer are amazing rappers and Tulisa has such a powerful voice. I have been lucky enough to see N-Dubz live and they're one of the few artists who sound as amazing live as they do on their CD. Uncle B includes both some of their classics such as Better Not Waste My Time and I Swear as well as newer tracks such as Papa Can You Hear Me and Wouldn't You which is their new single.
My fave tracks on Uncle B are: Ouch, Secrets, Wouldn't You, Don't Get Nine and Papa Can You Hear Me.
I definitely recommend you to buy this album since it will be one of the best purchases you ever make and I for one can't stop listening to it.

All Around The World Records has made a sensational album with three sensational teens; Dappy, Tulisa and Fazer.
With Dappy's catchy raps, Fazer's smoother raps and Tulisa'a powerhouse R&B style vocals, this album is the start of something great for the Dynamite Trio.
1. Intro- Dappy's explanation of the album's name.
2. Wouldn't You- A hypnotic smooth opening to the groups talent, Tulisa leads this stunner!
3. Strong Again- A catchy, uptempo and melodic piece of work, this is definately single material.
4. Don't Get Nine- One hell of a catchy track, Tulisa leads this 'Box Fresh' material, tellin all of u, that u only get one chance not nine. Includes an argument between the boy's and Tulisa.
5. I Swear- Part 1 of a relationship in danger (From the male's perspective), one of their bigger hits, fresh beats and catchy pipes carrying the song.
6. Ouch- Part 2 of a relationship in danger (From the female's perspective), Tulisa leads this chart topping belter. Any N-Dubz fan is in love with this catchy and powerful song.
7. N-Dubz Vs Naa (Ft. Big Narstie & Solo)- The first of two face offs on the album, Naa brings some heavy raps to this battle but they're no match for Dappy's chat back attitude, Fazer's taunts and Tulisa's maternal vocals. Haha
8. Public Transport (Skit)- Really this is pure randomness, 18 seconds of Fazer telling people to earn a one way ticket to jail.
9. Love For My Slum (Ft. Baker Trouble)- One of the weakest tracks, it's not memorable and it's not catchy, personally I'd skip this track.

I bought this cd for my 15 year old daughter and she has played it non stop since. This group has amazing talent, even I found it great to listen to. The track 'Papa can you hear me' is very emotional and definately a favourite.

WOW WOW WOW. This album has been out a while, and I only bought it a couple of days ago--I decided to give them a go because I had a voucher and nothing else peaked my interest. I've never been into UK rap/hip hop...however, N Dubz has put it in a whole new light. The WHOLE album I was just like...wow. Words can't describe how impressed I am, every song is really really catchy. I'm moving to the U.S. soon, and I'm gonna love listening to this cuz it will really remind me of England (the slang etc.); seriously, I gurantee you N Dubz can convert you to a hip hop fan if you buy this, and if you are already just BUY IT. Every track is hot but my favorites are:
Strong Again (cuz I, I never ever ever ever...:P), Don't Get Nine, I Swear, Ouch, Ndubz Vs Naa (HOT TRACK!), Love for MY Slum (really catchy), Defeat You and Papa Can you Hear Me. I liked all of the tracks of course but those ones really stood out to me.

Seriously, I can't believe how amazing this album was.
From their quirky vocals to the thoughtful lyrics, this is a must-have for many teens and adults! You can't go wrong with these songs: Ouch, Papa, Better Not Waste My Tome, I Swear and Feva Las Vegas.
Pros:
- Thoughtful, present happening lyrics.
- Just, shares fair amount of variety.
- Great-feel and energetic music!
- Taking both serious and fun into balance.
Cons:
- Some silly lyrics. (Censorships, etc; "N-dubz vs. Naa" and "Sex")
- The track "Secrets" is kinda weak for me...

Music for juvenile delinquents.
Possibly two of the most odious characters walking the planet, two purulent scabs that need to be popped before the pus spreads to the rest of society. Read more
