4Music brings you some totally random facts and, if we're honest, the odd bit of speculation about N-Dubz...

• Tulisa and Dappy are cousins and Dappy was best mates with Fazer at school



• The bands biggest selling single to date was 2009’s collaboration with Tinchy Stryder – Number 1



• The Papa Can You Hear Me rappers are concerned about steering young people out of a life of crime – they even go into schools to persuade kids to focus on their careers instead



• The band relish the challenge of playing festivals seeing them as an opportunity to win new fans…



• Other artists the hip-hop trio would like to collaborate with include Timbaland, Outlandish, Roachford, surprisingly George Michael and Lady Gaga and are currently talking to Kylie!



• Dappy and Tulisa’s Dads were in 70s pop group Mungo Jerry (you may need to ask your Dad or even Grandad about them – they’ll know some of their hits)



• In 2007 they won a MOBO for best newcomer before they had even signed to a record label; Tulisa was so happy she couldn’t stop crying



• Under the guise of The Young Soul Rebels they have recorded a charity single for War Child along with a host of artists including Pixie Lott and VV Brown



• The talented vocalist Tulisa began writing songs at the tender age of nine



• The family-minded Fazer thinks that young people spend too much money on their image and should give more back to their parents
