	:: urban smarts . com \| doomsday : the clock ep \| review ::
		According to his bio (on banarnar.com), Doomsday has been making some noise by battling in his locality (wherever that might be), and this EP is his first real attempt at applying his lyrical prowess to a track-by-track formula.
		For all that Doomsday shows a great deal of rhyming and flowing potential, he frequently sounds like a battle rapper who hasn't quite mastered the art of writing songs yet, and is therefore stuck in a transition.
		Add that to the knowledge displayed in the title's subtle reference to the Doomsday Clock, and the fact that he has some seemingly talented producers behind him, and Doomsday may well be someone to look out for in the future.

		The Doomsday Clock hangs inside a tiny room on the University of Chicago campus, a short walk from the laboratory that first harnessed the power of the atom.
