Some of you may know I was in the studio this year with dynamite trio N Dubz and Afreex assisting with mixing tracks off their first LP "Uncle B". Now in into it's 8th week in the Top 20 of the UK Chart, it has just been certified PLATINUM, which means sales of 300,000+. Not only are they the first UK urban outfit to achieve this since So Solid Crew, they have also outsold recent offerering's from Kanye West, Akon and The Kaiser Chiefs.
During the first week of release the album sold out across most retailers.. it just so happened, distributor EUK decided to kick the bucket during the same week meaning WH Smith, Woolworths, Tesco and Morrisons could not keep up with the demand. If it wasnt for this, they would have made Top 10 with ease.
They have been slated, they have been hated.. but they put a middle finger to the critics, made good music and sold fucking records... in this biz, that is what it's all about. If you havnt already, go cop the album. Their next single "Strong Again" is out soon.
PS. I am the voice of the Public Transport skit... enjoy ;)
