Stereo MC's put "Elevate My Mind" on their 1990 album Supernatural, released through 4th & B'way, and the single made history of a modest sort: climbing to 39 on the Billboard Hot 100, it made the English crew the first British rap group ever to reach that chart. At home it only just scraped into the UK Singles Chart, at 74.
The track rides a sample of Grandmaster Melle Mel's "White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)", with Cath Coffey singing alongside the raps. NME heard a bouncy rhyme over a bubbling beat and a retro Hammond riff, and called it a fine taster for the album to come. It later landed on the soundtrack of the 1995 film Bad Company and in the video game Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.
