I have both.

Kristyles (Koch Records) - http://www.discogs.com/KRS-One-Kristyle ... se/2257742

The Kristyle (Self-released) - http://www.discogs.com/KRS-One-The-Kris ... se/2529310
Yes. Thanks. And I contend that there is even a "third" unreleased version that I have heard. We all talked about it some more here:

Nonetheless, I'd like to see see/hear what "unreleased track" ManOfSteele1 was referring to earlier in this thread.

"True story I'm about to tell ya, me and ICU was comin from the Shelter.
We had to walk from Webster Projects to get to other end of the Grand Concourse, that's where I met
Christine, I use to tell her every dream ... ... ... "


Or something like that the lyrics went.

The chorus, "You gotta keep movin'".

Nice. Yeah that is "True Story." A favorite of mine too (partially because I gave that beat to KRS :lol: )

Here it is for download:
DivShare File - KRS-1 - True Story.mp3

Also here is the original inst. of the beat:

Best song KRS did since I Got Next. When I was working with him back around 2002 or 2003ish I found a copy of the Kristyles CD with this song on it, forgotten by Harold English on a mixing board at a show. Thanks for posting it again, I hope the ones you just posted sound better than the one I got, cuz the one I got sounds very unmixed and unmastered.
