RAL is one probably the best indy label ever, and you know why? Not only they put out the best music, but they treat their artists well!!!!. I don't remember many Rap A Lot artists leaving the label... Unlike every other label (Death Row, Cash Money, Suave, No Limit, you name it!!)
And by the way, with all the names you mentioned, don't forget about Tela!! To me, he was one of the best artists on the label, ever
