Urban grime act N-Dubz performed at the roundhouse in Camden on Monday (5th July) to a flock of screaming fans, and yes there were screaming men too. Camden being the British trio's home town made the set even more special for the fans and the band.
The group, consisting of cousins Dappy and Tulisa and their lifelong friend Fazer, kept the crowd buzzing throughout the entire set. The atmosphere they created in the Roundhouse was exhilarating. You could see the chemistry within the group whilst they performed throughout.
Whilst the groups army themed costumes where similar (however not sure how many female soldiers wear tight hot pants and corsets- like Tulisa) their performance and interaction with the crowd couldn't have been any more different. Dappy was defiantly the crowd pleaser, jumping into the fans and shaking hands with anyone lucky enough to get close. Fazer quickly followed suit by jumping in after his band mate. Tulisa however stayed firmly on the stage and rarely interacted with theaudience.
The trio, who have collaborated with the likes of chipmunk, Mr. Hudson and Tinchy Stryder, where joined on stage by British grime rapper Skepta. The band encouraged the fans to sing along to all the songs any N-Dublet (as their known) would know. The band even treated them to an exclusive preview from their upcoming album.
Dappy kept the crowd on edge with the promise that he would throw his famous hat into the crowd. However you'll have to be prepared to fend off other fans for that, as among the N-dublets that hat is very much worth, literally, fighting for.
To finish their electrifying set they performed the song 'papa can you hear me?' from their first album titled Uncle B. This song was written and dedicated to the bands founder after his death in 2007. The founder of the band is also Dappy's dad and Tulisa's uncle known to everyone as Uncle B, which made the finale so much more genuine and heartfelt.
