Long Walk

Dedicated to our mother, Barbara Munson Stiles 1944-1986
Official Video: https://youtu.be/asPyzNYpXsw

It’s been a while right, brother?
Approaching 40, leaving our 30's behind
Born in August, 1979 when bell-bottoms were retired
And everyone tuned into Saturday Night Live!

While the Young were getting Restless on Sesame Street
And The Brady Bunch spent 60 Minutes counting the Days Of Our Lives
Him and I slept adjacent, laid there in waiting
Separated by hospital blinds

Little did we know a process had been initiated,
Halted, then resolved with adoption papers
One problem, this involvement Dad and Mom engaged in
Only implied one son, not a package of displaced twins

While in that lawyer’s office reality weighed in
I like to think that thankfulness overjoyed them
I like to think that neither blinked the moment that lawyer grinned
And said, “It’s not just one kid,” their is actually two of them”

Fortunately Barbara reacted with reciprocity
Knowing two boys would be great since her and Jim could now afford it
The new job she landed in banking was amazing
All she’d ever wanted was a family, previously thwarted

By factors such as sterility and lack of income
Inability to give birth plagued her everything and then some
Now came an opportunity for not only one, but twins, umm
Just gotta convince Jim. Easily done

Jim signed the papers, solidifying custody
Two weeks later we were shipped to Monterey from Muncie
Two midwest born bastards were undeniably lucky
Accepted and adopted to the west coast of the country

They expected One but then there were Two
One fair-skinned pale in comparison to Two
These Two share heritage, plus eyes of blue
It’s quite a delight knowing there are Two sides to you

Life meant for One yet delivered One more than
One left, Two right-brained, out of sorts twins
To this day we take steps with importance
Him rocking my “Tims." Me wearing his “Jordans"

During adolescence, computers were my pastime
I DOS commanded bulletin boards just to pass time
A game junky too but never a Sega “Genesist"
Before N64, I can barely remember which

Consoles I owned, yet what I do remember is
Jordan being my Super Nintendo arch nemesis
When it came to Street Fighter Two, he'd pick Blanka
And I'd Chun Li the shit out of his shins, making things awkward

Little did he know I'd already studied his moves
He used to get so pissed, throwing the controller across the room
It made sense though, he was never bred for technology
To this day he still calls me instead of Googling, ha!

Honestly, I shouldn't give him so much grief
While I was nerding out, he was turning out art you wouldn't believe
Whether pencil to paper, acrylic & hand-brushed
Charcoal and chalk, or watercolor to canvas

Jordan as a young man didn’t have visions of grandeur
He materialized decisions with precision and stamina
From cartoon-inspired, to realistic landscapes
He emptied cans of paint, presenting pieces hand-made

Always been ahead of his time with a history you can't trace
Talent worth far more than anyone can pay
Furthermore, he holds the torch to our campaign
We’ll always remain One, traversing Two different pathways

They expected One but then there were Two
One fair-skinned pale in comparison to Two
These Two share heritage, plus eyes of blue
It’s quite a delight knowing there are Two sides to you

Life meant for One yet delivered One more than
One left, Two right-brained, out of sorts twins
To this day we take steps with importance
Him rocking my “Tims." Me wearing his “Jordans"

Wearing My Jordans

Abstract Rude Ft. Del Tha Funky Homosapien - F'real

Roadwork Rappin'

Heartinacage - NMH cover

I have collected a whole lot of music from the early 90's to the early 00's. The majority of this music, as far as I know, has not seen the light of day and before my tapes disintegrate I finally dedicated some time to digitally transfer all of these gems in order to share them with everyone. When I was younger I was obsessed with the sound of the LA underground Hip Hop scene and I dubbed over 350+ cassettes from very talented, brilliant, original, and creative beings. Please keep in mind all of this music is from a time where music could not be downloaded. The music traveled from hand to hand, cassette to cassette, and when making copies from a copy there will of course be loss in quality, this is known as Analog Hiss. So yes the quality is not great but I thought it was more important to share an amazing song with not so good quality than to have it lost forever. Also, when dubbing tapes lots of times there were no titles so I made up titles for some songs. If you come across an error please inform me & I'll make the proper changes.
Please enjoy!

Short story: My 6 year DocuVersary is soon approaching! I hope you enjoy this new remix of Start With An 'E'!
Long story: In winter 2014, after ~3 years working in the support dept. at DocuSign, I felt so fortunate to be a part of the company that I decided to write a song. Start With An 'E' became the first of two tribute songs and celebrates our product, purpose, and team of talented, driven employees. I love the original version (prod. by J Lee Mezus) but I always felt I didn't perform on the track with the energy I originally intended. Therefore, I decided to revisit the song with the help of producer and engineer, Jay Battle. This, just as the original features the vocals of my multi-talented friend, Paradame.

'Let It Be' Official Lyric Video: https://youtu.be/tHf4Z3rJr5w
'Let It Be' marks Trinity Richter's second time ever in a recording studio and our first collaboration. I'm blown away by how well she sings at such a young age and look forward to working with her on future projects. Ground-up production you'll hear is all thanks to the amazing, Jay Battle (Qreepz). Enjoy and please share!

A Fish Like This

A Fish Like This feat. Trinity Richter

For my pinball playing, Mr. Bear walking, Jag of a friend, LMC.
Free download: https://timstiles.bandcamp.com/track/lmc
Lyrics:
LMC…
The KID…
SIS….

Straight-framed glasses
On a tall drink of water
Taking grad classes,
Hard knocks alma mater

Murdered-out lipstick
Might paint this misfit
Otherwise don't expect
To see any makeup on her

All you trash talkers
Are simply cannon fodder
For this middle finger raising,
30-something multi-baller

Conscious of her family
But not a momma's daughter
This blonde from Colorada's
A spitting image of her father

Not at all prim and proper
Tall as a tree
Rocking striped tube socks
And ripped off sleeves

Jags oughta check themselves
Crossing paths on the street
Unless they want to get kinged
By checkered vans on her feet

See, you'd better recognize
Before you’re left dead inside
Standing there, petrified
As she screams, TESTIFY

When that mesh cap's
Brim's raised like a fin,
Read the warning sign,
Mr. Bear's off his leash

HOOK:
Once you meet the L-to the-A
You’ll rethink who the hell U-R
See, the E means you’re N’d
This pinball queen’s
Not one to compete against

Put your quarters up and play
I guarantee, you’ll need a full jar
Once ball three sees its end
It’s time to bend the knee,
McNeil at each event

You'd think that someone
Getting sidelined by loss so tragic
Would just give up,
And figure life no longer mattered

But leave it up to Lauren
To rise from the ashes
From two--both of who if still alive
Would be so ecstatic
 
With how she
Sowed those seeds in Nevada
Staying clean and sober
Grieving for them in tandem
 
Her strength amazes me
When turmoil wouldn't cease
She remained determined
To turn soil under cactus

Her passion
Helped the closed-captioned speak
Giving "fresh starts"
To those who only knew, "woe-is-me"
 
Took the reins
And drove that van
Leading a treatment program 
In a no man's land
 
With all the previous tilts
And the quarters that spilled,
Flipped tails to heads
To make their road back grand

Confidence she instilled
To a populous in need of help
Complements how she excels
At any hold-pass planned 

A Vale-born beast
With a stance that might make you nervous
But with Mr. Bear on his leash
It’s all hamsters and maple syrup…

[HOOK]

A stance that might make you nervous..
It’s all hamsters and maple syrup

 [V3]
This veteran of the BAG
Long tenured, bar tender
Will always be remembered
By that Caliente center

Not the only mark she's made
Knock on the cabinet replays
Are often heard these days
From this tournament contender

Hell's Bells CLANG
At each IFPA event, but
Not even outlanes
Can drain courage
From her ventures

Each ball lost
Means a probable extra
With an extended auto-save
Hurry-ups won't test her

Addam's Family shrugs
As her highest score prevents ya
From telling a Fish Tale 
About 1-UP'ing her in Denver

Space Jam, slamming scores
That'll straight up dismantle yours
Skills that sing Soprano chords
After an Attack from Mars

This one bad mama jama 
Kicks dust off JAMMA boards
Until your loose change
Becomes an exchange
You can't afford

Instead of setting up bars
Serving trash, sickly stiff
She now "sets the bar"
Without a mask on Batman 66

A Vale-born beast
With a stance that might make you nervous
But with Mr. Bear on his leash
It’s all hamsters and maple syrup…
