N-Dubz are a British hip hop group from Camden Town, London. The group consists of members Dappy, Tulisa Contostavlos and Fazer.
N-Dubz were previously signed to Polydor Records before joining All Around the World Records. They had eight top 40 hits on the UK Singles Chart, the most successful being "I Need You", which charted at number five.
Their debut album Uncle B was released on 17 November 2008 and debuted at number eleven on the UK Albums Chart. The album has since been certified platinum for shipments of over 300,000 in the UK. Their second album Against All Odds was released on 16 November 2009, which debuted at number 6 in the UK. It went platinum within approximately two months of release. The group are currently on hiatus, although Contostavlos has said they plan to reunite in 2013.
In August 2011, it emerged that N-Dubz had parted company with record label Def Jam, stating that they were "Never going to co-operate with them when they decided to change what we are". With Contostavlos taking up a role as a judge on series 8 of The X Factor and Dappy releasing his solo single "No Regrets", N-Dubz' gig on 18 September 2011 was described as "their final gig for the foreseeable future".
In November, Contostavlos confirmed that N-Dubz were undergoing a two-year hiatus as Dappy and herself pursued solo careers. Contostavlos also confirmed the release of a Greatest Hits album, which was released on 28 November 2011. On 15 March 2012, after a Twitter row with her cousin and bandmate Dappy, it was alleged that the group had, in fact, split after he decided to cut off communications with the group members. But the pair eventually reconciled on 28 June.
In 2012, underground singer-songwriter Jan's second single, "Fuck U and Goodbye", is credited with featuring N-Dubz, although the verse, which is performed by Dappy and Fazer, is actually a sample from one of the group's podcast freestyles. The non-profit self released free single is due for release on 19 November 2012.
In an interview with This Morning on 24 September 2012, Tulisa said a reunion is definitely in the works for 2013, after hers and Dappy's solo albums have been released. On 6 October 2012, during an edition of The X Factor, Tulisa once again confirmed that N-Dubz would be reforming.
