- Stereo MCs
One of the most successful hip-hop acts to emerge from Great Britain, Stereo MCs 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. Following the release of the album Supernatural, Stereo MCs 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.
