New EP is...out.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=S20ANG5G

There it is. Download your first Winter Solstice present.

Albeit, this one's a bit rushed, soooo, I might just re-record the whole thing and send it back to you on Christmas re-realeased, and have The White Rhymebook done to you by New Year's.

But you know, I hate realease dates. They're just like deadlines to me and I panic at the last minute, usually. That's why the cover is mad sloppy, but mad fresh.

So, everything in this blog post is unconfirmed until further notice.

Happy Winter Solstice

I was supposed to come out with a mixtape/EP today, so, I may just come out with something tonight when the sun sets. It'll probably be 5 songs long and it'll be Part 2 of a series of EPs I'm making called "Da L33k", so this one will be called "Da L33k 2 Presents: Winter Solstice". It's just a preview for "White Rhyme Book".

Talk about bad decisions...

So, my old Skullcandy Headphones broke. I was tight. So, I sought out a quick and temporary solution. So, I decided to cop me some Aerial 7 Headphones for $80 (the one all the way to the left). Was it worth it? HEEELLL NO. I mean, sure, they sound good and all, but it's just lacking in the bass department compared to the Skullcandy Hesh Headphones. They're more durable and flexible than the Hesh headphones, but that's about it. So, now I'm stuck with these headphones until I decide to buy some Skullcrushers or save for the Beats By Dre for Christmas.

I have to stop going on my impulses.

Christmas Wishlist...

Hard decision here. Help me out. I want to get at least one of the following:

1. A new smart phone (since my current phone is dumb as shit)

2. A new laptop

3. Or, Beats By Dre

Headphones...

Probably gonna get me some Beats By Dre.

Broke my skullcandy headphones....AGAIN

What can I do? Broken headphones suckkk. But luckily, if you send in your broken headphones to Skullcandy, they'll give you a half off coupon to any of the headphones on their online store. SOOOOO, I'm probably either gonna get Skullcrushers, or maybe even just wait 'till Christmas and ask for some Beats by Dre. Pssh, fat chance I'll actually get them.

Winter Solstice...

BECAUSE CHRISTMAS IS SOOOOOO OVERRATED.

So, I'm gonna try to get "The White Rhymebook" (I might rename it) out on Winter Solstice (December 21st) if my schedule allows it. If I can't get it out by then, then I'll at least have a short EP out on that day. Promise.

Now what exactly is my excuse for not recording like I should be? Well, on the weekends, I kind of distract myself with watching some anime, and, wouldn't ya know it, the day just goes over my head. But not this time. Trust meh.

Me vs....Diggy Simmons?!

Seen his updates on Twitter and a few of his songs being featured on "Deal With No Deal". Better yet, his mixtape, "The First Flight" is coming out on Black Friday, next week; The same time I'm trying to come out with my mixtape "The White Rhymebook" (and, maybe it will come out then and maybe it won't) and I noticed that we're both the same age...and I also really like Run's House. Sooo, exactly WHAT am I trying to say?

I dunno. I haven't got to listen to some of his songs that he leaked, but I just want to see who's better...or at least hear how his voice sounds rapping, since he has such a scrappy voice. Meh. I wish him the best of luck, even though I'm the one who needs it.

EDIT: Also, I'm liking his fashion blog. Go Diggy.

EDIT 2: Or maybe I just want to collab with the dude?

EDIT 3: Also, we have the same first name.

I might be going crazy...

Recently, I found myself screming out the chorus to "Brighter Days" by Charles Hamilton in fraustration inside my house at the top of my lungs. Why? My father. What else is new?

So, here's the story. From 1st to 6th grade I went to private school. Then, my mother passed away. My father thought we shouldn't stay in the house that held so many memories for us about our deceased mother. So, we moved out of Queens, to a more richer part of New York: Long Island. We found a million dollar house; the house that we're in now and moved from the private school to a public one at 7th grade. I always had straight A's in private school, and Inever studied. Idid the same I did in Public school, that Iwould do in Private school. Not study. But, my grades got lowered signifigantly. Dad was furious. I tried to adjust (and still am), but my grades have yet gotten to the position it was before.

In public school, I was weird, different, trying to find out where I belonged, got made fun of, often came home crying, whatever. I tried adjusting. And I still am now.

Fast forward a few years, and my dad gives me and my 19-year-old brother (18 at the time) a 360 last Christmas. Of course I was extatic. But on June, my faggot of a teacher called saying "DANIEL ISN'T IN MATH HONORS KTHXBAI", he's like "GIMME DAT XBOX". I just don't take it seriously, since I thought he'd give it back to me in about a few week's time. I get my scheduale saying that I AM in Math Honors. He's like "THE XBOX IS TOO BLOODY AND VIOLENT ADuRRHURR". It's been 5 months. I'm pissed.

Recently, I asked my dad "Hey dad, if on my report card, the majority of my grades are a 85 and over, can I get back the Xbox?" He's like "YOU HAD 90's ON YOUR REPORT CARD IN PRIVATE SCHOOL, WHY SHOULD I REWARD YOU FOR ANYTHING LESS" I'm like "Why should you penalize me just for not getting into Math honors?"And nothing ever gets through to him. He later yells at me for not taking off my clothes after I came home from school (like, seriously, who gives a fuck?) and I just got so angry from what happened at work (see last post), and probably never getting back my 360 that I just felt like yelling at the top of my lungs. And it felt good.

Now let me tell you why I really like the 360. First off, I sometimes get stressed from work and it taking away valuable time from me just to earn fucking minimum wage for shitty hours and get stressed from school, and at home from a father who knows nothing but to yell in my ears all day. And, aside from the internet, my Xbox was the only way to get out of the world I'm in and just go to a world where no one could bother me and my stress level decreased. In that world, I could relax and enjoy myself. And he took that away from me. How unfair.

Who the fuck am I even talking to? Does anyone even read this? Guess not. Guess I'm just talking to myself. And I'm enjoying the conversation.

I just need to blackout right now. Peace.

A Maid Cafe?

So, my boss just shortened my hours at the animal hospital, because a new girl who works there only has three hours (I have 13) and he gave her 3 of my hours, so I don't work on Tuesday (leaving me with 10 hours) which changes my pay from $80 a week to a little less than $70 a week.

I'm pissed. Fuck this, I'm going on my spaceship. Peace.

Oh and the picture and title has nothing to do with anything, except the thought "How can I stunt on minimum wage?" came to mind.

Skirt, or no skirt?

To be honest, I never really liked the thought of women wearing pants, or shorts. Maybe it's because I've always seen my mother wearing skirts and never a day in her life wore pants or shorts in public. Maybe it's because my church frowns upon it. Or maybe it's because I'm a pervert and love seeing girls in mini-skirts? All I gotta say is that those cheerleading outfits at school = win.

Skip the first 18 seconds. But yo, I would freaking just spaz to this song. It's that beautiful.

Background infoooooo

I'm Abstrakt aka Abstrakt Alias, or Daniel and I'm 14-years-old and I live in Long Island, New York, not too far from Queens. I've been rapping for a year now.

I like to consider myself as a nerd, but I just love being different. I'm into video games, but my dad took away my 360 for a while now, and I haven't been playing much of anything. I'm also into manga and anime. And no, none of that bullshit mainstream anime (not Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, Inuyasha, etc). I'm more into the anime that WASN'T shown on Cartoon Network. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, K-on, Gurren Lagann, Kampfer and a bunch of other anime I can't think of at the moment.

I have one mixtape and a short ep. Mixtape sucked, EP was better. I'll post 'em up later, maybe, or just search me up on Dat Piff. My next project will be called "The White Rhymebook" which will be coming out soon. Not sure when, but soon. And the quality will be 100x better considering I have a condenser mic. More than half of the mixtape is written, all I have to do is just record, and I haven't really had a lot of time to do it, considering I have work, school, homework etc. But, I'll get to it. Promise you that much. I'll post the official artwork in a bit.
