Uncle B

Product Information

I love all of N-Dubz's music but I feel like this album was their strongest and stuck their true roots. Seven singles have been released from the album, with the first three being released by LRC, and the last four being released by All Around the World.

I kid you not but this album is top of my playlist on the iPod and 4 months after purchasing it is still the one I listen to the most. Parents won't be too impressed, mind you, but Uncle B will likely be lauded for its furious party jams made with the Skins generation of reckless teens in mind.

Still, they're not as mean as the So Solid Crew of yesteryear, nor as good, and their faux bravado is just what you'd expect from these poster kids for urban Britannia. I don't mean to be pushy, pushy/I'm just in it for the pussy, pussy," snarls Dappy on the shameless 'Sex', which deserves a government warning in its own right. 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. Orange gave the album a mixed review: "Slickly produced hip-hop, grime and r'n'b form the backdrop to Tulisa's better-than-most vocals and the whimsical rhymeplay of Fazer and Dappy, who touch on everything from cheating ('Ouch'), "fake" MCs ('Defeat You') to fornication. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.The album is dedicated to former N-Dubz manager and father of Dappy, Byron Contostavlos, who died shortly before the band were signed to their second record label All Around the World.

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. Defeat You" was originally intended to be released a single, however, the release was cancelled in favour of "Papa (Can You Hear Me)", however, a music video was subsequently recorded before the release was cancelled.We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.
