Gerald Walker is back with a brand new cut from his upcoming release, a project called "Believers Never Die."

The new song is called "Bulletproof Soul" and is produced by Taylor Gang producer Cardo.

Walker may have not made it onto this year's XXL Freshman list but with how often he's on XXL, 2dopeboyz, HipHopDX, TheSouce.com, DJBooth.net and other important sites, who knows if he even needs that blessing that ends up being a huge curse for so many artists.

If he keeps building at the rate that he currently is, there is no doubt in my mind that he'll be there in 2013.

Check out the new jam over at XXL.com.
