N Dubz

We first noticed N Dubz when their video for Strong Again started playing on MTV.

Who couldn't notice Tulisa front and centre looking like a rock chick, all black with flowing blonde hair, singing into the mic, moving in time to the beat?

But while she looked like a rock chick, she was accompanied by a couple of rappers. It was a very unique style and a very catchy song.

Dappy, real name Dino Contostavlos, is the cousin of Tulisa, also known as Tula.
Dappy's father is Byron Contostavlos of Mungo Jerry.
Together with their friend Richard “Fazer” Rawson they form N Dubz.

Their debut album Uncle B spawned 7 singles:
"You Better Not Waste My Time" · "I Swear" · "Feva Las Vegas" · "Ouch" · "Papa Can You Hear Me?" · "Strong Again" · "Wouldn't You".

However it was Stong Again that really brought them to our attention, an anthem to self discovery and self belief.

They now feature on the Tynchy Stryder song, aptly named "Number One", which is currently at number one in the charts.

Their second album is eagerly anticipated.
