God are you stupid. Giraffe Nuts is a Chicago rap collective. Their debut album entitled "EAT THEM" will be released on the streets on June 8th '07, and online and instores in late August. You are an idiot. Production credits will include JZONE, DJ PRZM (RIP), RODDYROD, KAZ 1, EARMINT and more. You are completely retarded. Seriously, fuck are you an ass. Be on the look out for each individual member of this unit. They will punch you in the head at the same time. Of course that is difficult, and some of them might just end up punching each other in the fist. That's fine though, don't worry about that.Track Listing and purchase info.

INTERVIEW
MC's aren't expected to blow up coming out of
Illinois, but look at who's done it. Common, Chali
2na, Kanye West? but what about the Banarnar
clique,
which features dope MC's like DoomsDay and
Soulstice?
This EP, along with Soulstice's "North by
Northwest,"
makes a strong claim that these guys have what it
takes to get notice past Illinois...Check out this

Urban Smarts Review
What "The Clock EP" seems to communicate,
therefore,
is that Doomsday is adept at writing with wit,
although needs to work on structuring his rhymes.
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. If nuclear war doesn't occur first, that

Doomsday, A.K.A. Carlos Araiza, was introduced to poverty early in his life. Born to two hard working immigrants, Doomsday learned to speak english around the same time as his parents. In and out of five different schools before the third grade, he kept to himself a lot as a child. Doomsday confronted his poor
upbringing on his own.
It was when he first listened to a tape of The Ghetto Boyz' "My Mind Is Playin Tricks On Me" that Doomsday found a source of refuge. Thirsty for more he began buying cd after cd. It was only a matter of time before Doomsday would begin to express his ideas and experiences on paper. Very hesitant to share his lyrics with people, he spent many years working on his content and quality in his music.
When asked about his aim in music, Doomsday simply responds,
"I'm just another rapper, trying to NOT JUST be another rapper". So far being successful in his attempt, Doomsday has made his impact by battling for the last six years. The first three of those years, while attending the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he would only meet defeat twice. It was on that campus where he would link up with a local label, Banarnar Records. There he went on to work with Psalm One (RhymeSayers) and Soulstice (Wandering Soul). He then dropped his solo project, The Clock EP. Now back in Chicago, Doomsday continues to be a menace in battles and has established himself as one of the more anticipated artist to still not release a Sophomore project. All that is on the verge of change however, as Doomsday formed the now well known crew, "Cypher Bulliez" and has linked up with "Giraffe Nuts", a nine man super crew put together by Verbal Kent (Gravel Records). His new solo LP, "Still Ticking", is scheduled to be released in late July. A lot of things are in the making for this Chicago born and raised artist, keep an eye out because Doomsday is coming.
