^^^^Every release them lables mentioned sold over 20k with each release
its all 2 close between all of them whos king of sales.Only 2 remain indy or before revamping or shutting down.
LIFERDEF
AWOL
STILL OPERARTING & INDY
So let's break it down like this which indy lable before signing to priority sold the most before closing doors answer BLACKMARKET was the first.First ones to prolly really sell over 300k indy style b4 priority.
Second would be AWOL with CBO and they still remain in business along with LIFERDEF. Thats the biddness take it from an og playa!
Should it be which is the first to do so or who did the most indy and still operating? Never the less check 4 them lables and history,we cant forget about siccwit also with st charles dist was indy before signing to jive 40 sold alot but remained indy shortly after 60k to 100k after jive scooped him up.How do i know this info because i seen the scans and was on BLACKMARKET back in the days with ASSASSIN HITWORKS.And read the waltz wax reports with cityhall which every lable had dist through 10 years ago.If you really wanna take it way back to 50 girls presents (TOO$HORT) they were the first to skyrocket any kind of indy sales along with Hammer and these my friends were pieces of vinyl moving counting as pieces no cds were even thought of it was cassete tapes and vinyl!
