about

"Where You At" is a true anomaly in the music industry. Though a smash hit on Vancouver radio, this is its first commercial release 30 years later.

In January 1991, Nanaimo-based Finesse & Showbiz, fresh off an impressive showing at the legendary DJ Sound War, entered an East Vancouver basement studio to record their debut, "Where You At."

Strapped for cash, they duplicated the song onto 100 promo cassettes instead of vinyl, a much pricier option. The group hit the streets and hand-distributed them to DJs, clubs, record labels, and radio stations. Vancouver's LG73 added "Where You At" to its playlist and was immediately flooded with callers requesting the song.

The demand catapulted "Where You At" to #3 on LG's nightly chart, "The Top 8 at Eight." In an era when rap was mostly absent from local radio, this was a rare feat – especially for some young hip-hop heads from Vancouver Island.

For 30 years, this nearly lost piece of Canadian hip-hop history has languished on cassette in limited quantity... until now.

Gold In The Trunk Records proudly presents the first official digital release of "Where You At." Remastered from the original cassette by Rob the Viking.

[Limited edition 7" vinyl also available!]
