N-Dubz: Rock City, 22/4/09




What we have here is a classic 'rags to riches' story, and you will not find three more genuinely greatful people at having been given the opportunity they have. For the majority of us, our experience of youth simply constituted an angst ridden, insecure existence, but N-Dubz will provide you with an insight into genuine hardship. Just take a closer listen to the lyrics of 'Papa Can You Hear Me?' for example and you'll understand. This track when witnessed live, and I'm not ashamed to say, is quite frankly moving.

Despite the sporting of some questionable headwear, the Camden trio, to their credit, have managed to shift 300,000 copies of their debut album 'Uncle B' in the U.K alone. Add to that a Mobo award and a couple of top twenty singles, love them or hate them, I'm afraid there's little that can be said to discredit them.
