Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
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.

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...

Their First And Best!
