Bad Intentions is the debut solo album from former N-Dubz member Dappy. Featuring the chart-smash ‘No Regrets’ and the collaboration with Queen’s Brian May on ‘Rockstar’, this album packs an exhilarating pop punch. Mixing tough R&B with melodic hip hop, this is a bold and enjoyable effort.
Biography
"With
his distinctive woolly chullos, scallywag persona, and "na na nai"
catch phrase, North London MC/vocalist Dappy was instrumental in the
commercial breakthrough of his urban-pop trio N-Dubz, but has since
become more renowned for his questionable off-the-field activities than
for the band's series of multi-platinum albums. Born Costadinos
Contostavlos in 1987, he grew up in Camden Town, where he attended a
number of schools before being expelled for truancy and eventually
dropping out of education altogether by the age of 15. Encouraged to
change his ways by father Byron, who had previously been in '70s
folk-rock outfit Mungo Jerry, he later returned to study at college
while simultaneously pursuing a music career with cousin Tulisa and
childhood friend Richard Rawson (Fazer). Originally called Lickle
Rinsers Crew, the trio changed its name to N-Dubz. After several years
of plugging away on the pirate radio scene, they signed to Polydor
Records in 2007, where they went on to score a number one single
alongside Tinchy Stryder ("Number 1"), several MOBO Awards, and three
Top 20 albums: Uncle B (named after his late father), Against All Odds,
and Love.Live.Life.
During this period, Dappy
became a constant presence in the tabloids for all the wrong reasons. In
consecutive years, he was accused of glamorizing criminality in a
controversial video for Baker Trouble's "Love for My Slums," received a
four-month suspended sentence after pleading guilty to two accounts of
assault, and was thrown off a BA flight with bandmate Fazer for acting
disorderly. But it was his antics on Chris Moyles' Radio 1 breakfast
show that caused the biggest controversy, after he texted death threats
to a listener who had called him a "little boy with a silly little hat."
Dappy later apologized for his behavior, but the band was soon dropped
from the government's anti-bullying R U Cyber Safe campaign, and there
were several calls for the station to boycott his records. A year later,
Dappy began working on his solo album with the likes of U.S. rapper
Mann, appeared on Top 40 hits by Loick Essien ("Stuttering") and Tinchy
Stryder ("Spaceship"), and released his debut single, "No Regrets." His
debut solo album, Bad Intentions, was released in late 2012."Track listing
