100 cassettes dubbed with 14 tracks featuring a dozen off raps performed by Tim Cohen (The Fresh and Onlys / Magic Trick). Ivorics is a hip hop compilation featuring Tim Cohen in his retired duo, The Latter. Tim performed under the aliases Smif Carnivorous and Feller Quentin in rap groups The Latter and Forest Fires Collective during the late 90's and early 00's. They released two hard to find vinyl LPs and a handful of similarly obscure CDs. Fans have been curious about this part of his catalog since he materialized in the fog as a name to watch in the San Francisco garage explosion. Feller Quentin gave me over 50 tracks to work with and we managed to whittle the sequence down to this collection with the help of his partner Eddie Vic. Recorded between '98 and '03, we think that this tape represents the breadth of The Latter's history and are confident of the following three things: The beats are dope; The lyrics are fresh; and The styles are incomparable.
