A single, "Got to Give", came out on Cooltempo before the Brand New Heavies signed to Acid Jazz Records[?] and released Brand New Heavies[?] to critical acclaim. American distribution was picked up by influential label Delicious Vinyl[?], and N'Dea Davenport[?] joined the group. Singles like "Dream Come True" and "Never Stop" became hits on both sides of the Atlantic, and the group's appearance with MC Serch[?] (formerly of 3rd Bass) and Q-Tip[?] (then of A Tribe Called Quest) at a performance in New York City inspired the group to incorporate elements of hip hop music. Their next album was the critically acclaimed Heavy Rhyme Experience, Vol. 1[?], which included collaborations with Gang Starr and The Pharcyde, among others.
Brother Sister[?] (1994, 1994 in music) was the last album with Davenport, and she was replaced by Siedah Garrett[?] for Shelter[?] (1997, 1997 in music), their most recent album of original music.
