Plains Of Fascination - Join The Ranks

Nestled in the vibrant underground hip-hop culture of mid-90s Canada, Plains Of Fascination was a posse that embodied raw creativity and grassroots rhythm. Emerging from Toronto’s rap circles, the group carved out a place on college radio and within local circuits with their gritty, beat-driven sound. Their most enduring legacy is the 1996 album “Join The Ranks”, which features fledgling vocal contributions from a young Nelly Furtado. The album itself (plus 4 bonus tracks) captures a moment when Canadian hip-hop was still defining itself – a patchwork of earnest rhymes, classic breakbeats, and experimental energy that resonates with the DIY ethos of its era.

Available in a limited run on 2LP, CD in jewel case, MC and digitally on all major platforms.
