I remember saying Koch was an, "artists graveyard".
But the thing is, if you already have a following like, say, KRS One, you don't need to press a million copies of your CD. You need to press 10,000 copies and have a merchandise table at your shows where you sell CDs & T-shirts. Furthermore, if you have a following like KRS One you don't need to do arena/stadium shows with 10 other artists and split the door. Somebody like KRS can do a show in a club that holds 500 people and charge $50 at the door.
So Koch is a great label if you already have a following. You'll never go gold or platinum on Koch but since you're selling each CD hand to hand you keep 100% of the profit. Ain't nothing wrong with selling 5,000 cds hand to hand at shows and keeping all of the profit.
