Mindstate is the debut album by the Canadian hip hop group Shades of Culture, released in 1998.
The Gazette wrote that "Shades venture into some jazz-tinged territory, Jamaican places, sparse rhythm beds and cocktail lounges, with contributions from 'hood heroes like champion turntablist A-Trak and Dubmatique's DJ Choice."
AllMusic called the album "an uplifting, lyrically vibrant offering that employs turntable scratching and human beat box techniques laid over a foundation of rich instrumentation."
