Gerald Walker - Ready to GO!
Artist: Gerald Walker
Producer: Tone Dickens
Album: Gerald Walker's Evening Out With Your Girlfriend
Label: Unsigned
Windy City up-and-comer Gerald Walker‘s Booth debut found him toking up with a couple reader-approved cohorts, but don’t think for a second that the ganja’s dulled his will to succeed—when it comes to the musical grind, he’s always Ready to GO! On his latest mixtape leak, the emcee reveals that, underneath his weed-loving, womanizing exterior lies… a weed-smoking womanizer who’s destined for greatness. Flexing his laid-back, conversational flow over Tone Dickens’ jazzy old-school instrumental, the up-and-comer touts his skills and tells off the haters in verses packed with memorable similes (“You’re useless like a handbrake on a canoe.”). Walker’s Atmosphere name-drop is sure to score him points with my fellow Minneap…olitans (Minneapolites?), but it’s his unflappably confident mic presence that’ll win over heads nationwide. Those who like what they’re hearing can find more on the Gerald Walker’s Evening Out With Your Girlfriend mixtape, set to drop September 8th.

Although we didn't get to chance to premiere the record (Sorry, Gerald), I am glad we are featuring it for our readers. This jazzy boardwork is something K. Sparks would flex his lyrical muscle over, but Mr. Walker does his thing.
I like the emotion in his voice. He doesn't just go through the paces, so to speak. |

This is the night of the producers here! Production outshined almost every artist tonight, but that's a good thing! This beat was banoooodles, loved G Dub on here too with the interesting flow. Wasn't expecting that approach, but I was mad impressed. This was fire.

The production and Gerald Walker both had a lot of energy, which leads to a really tight song.

Gerard does a good job of simply being an emcee by rapping confidently over an intoxicatingly-hypnotic, jazzy beat (I always like jazzy instrumentals) with his carefree delivery and playful bars ... 3.5
