N-Dubz infused bright vocal harmonies and big pop choruses with the rapid breakbeats, Afrobeat influences and dancehall-derived rhythms of grime. Active for just five short years between 2006 and 2011, the pop-rap group from Camden Town released a run of club hits—like the bouncy "Girls" and the snap-filled “I Swear"—that were loaded with sparkling and infectious hooks, while pulsing with the relentless drums and jolts of bass showing up in international music.
