Last year throughout the course of the day, several thousand people visited Rap Fest 2005. Due to heavy promotion via the Internet through our live video stream courtesy of UnoRed.com, radio, television (past BET, WNJU and other shows) as well as great promotion spreading by word of mouth, we anticipate an even greater turnout this year.
