Gerald Walker is right. Sometimes you just have to ignore what everyone has to say and politely (or not  so politely) tell someone "Please, Shut The F**k Up!" Believers Never Die is coming soon!

Gerald Walker - It's Christmastime Again... [FreEP]

Although I've grown weary of overplayed Christmas music during the holidays, I have a soft spot for Hip Hop Christmas classics.  Thanks to Gerald Walker, I (AND YOU!) have some new material to add to the collection: It's Christmas Time... Again. 

The seven-track freEP can be downloaded for free on DJ Booth, but you can also purchase the premium version which includes an additional EP. Gerald's definitely putting in work, especially since he's going to be dropping another full project in December.  Support him!

New music from Milwaukee, Taylor Gang affiliated MC Gerald Walker.  "It's All Real" is a smooth track with a Cardo beat that allows Gerald to speak his mind. Reminds me of some old Bone Thugs and I'm feeling it.

MTV Rap Fix Live Celebrates Its 1 Year Anniversary

Yesterday, MTV Rap Fix Live celebrated its 1st year anniversary live on its 4PM show.  I wasn't able to watch it live, but I've been going through all of the clips on MTV this morning.  Has it only been 1 year? It seems like Rap Fix has been one of the most important staples in Hip Hop lately.

Since the show debuted, MTV Rap Fix has filled the void that's been missing in Hip Hop video journalism.  Television is quickly becoming a less influential channel for music, and Rap Fix Live's creators recognized the need for more of a central, online presence. Since the focus on most music networks no longer rests on the actual music, it's great that we have Sway to represent and provide an unbiased, reputable voice.

Hit the jump to watch some of the most memorable moments of the Anniversary episode!
