Welcome to the May 2006 RAP CD featuring the 16th Annual RAP Awards "Best of the Rest" Part 2. But first, we get audio for this month's Production 212 column from Dave Foxx on track 1. The RAP Awards Best of the Rest Part 2 kicks off with Small Market Promos on tracks 2 through 7. Medium Market Promos are on tracks 8 through 15, and Large Market Promos wrap it up on tracks 16 through 27. As you'll hear, lots of great promo work on this CD!
