Uncle B is the first album by N-Dubz. It was released on November 17 2008.[1] The album is named for former manager (and father of Dappy and uncle of Tulisa) Byron Contostavlos, who died shortly before the band were signed to new label All Around the World.[2] The album leaked on November 14, 2008 due to retailers shipping out the albums too early upon release. It entered the official UK Album Charts at Number 11.
