one of the most successful hip-hop acts to emerge from great
britain, stereo mc's formed in london in 1985, when rapper rob b.
(born rob birch) and dj/producer the head (nick hallam) formed the
gee street label as a means of promoting their music. gee street
soon signed a distribution deal with the new york-based 4th &
broadway label, and a series of singles followed before stereo
mc's' debut album, 33-45-78, surfaced in 1989.
after the departure of founding member cesare, the group ù now
consisting of rob b., the head, drummer owen if (born owen
rossiter), and vocalist cath coffey - issued the 1990 single
"elevate my mind," which became the first british rap single ever
to reach the u.s. pop charts. following the release of the album
supernatural, stereo mc's toured with the happy mondays and emf
before returning to the studio to record their 1992 breakthrough
connected, a sample-free album recorded completely with live
instruments which spawned major hits like "step it up,"
"creation," "ground level," and the title track. throughout
several years of production and remix work, the group's
long-awaited (and oft-delayed) follow-up remained unreleased,
though in 1997, coffey did at least issue her debut solo single,
"wild world." for their 2000 mix album dj kicks, stereo mc's
recorded three new tracks, "rhino, pts. 1-3," and finally in 2001
issued a new album, deep down & dirty, after a long nine-year
hiatus.
