"Elevate My Mind" is a song by English hip hop/electronic dance group Stereo MC's, with female vocals provided by Cath Coffey. It made #74 on the UK Singles Chart,[2] #36 on the Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales[3] and #39 on the Billboard Hot 100,[3] making them the first British rap group to make the Billboard Hot 100.[4] It features a sample of "White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)" by Grandmaster Melle Mel.
A reviewer from NME wrote, "Watch out! Here they come, back again to distress the session with another corker of a tune. A bouncy rhyming rap in true Stereo MCs fashion over a bubbling backbeat and '70s-style Hammond riff. A fine taster from their forthcoming LP."[5]
