 * Delete. Label has some length of history, but it does not have a significant past or present roster of notable artists, so it can not be established that the label has had any level of cultural impact.  It then follows the label does not meet NMUSIC#5.  It also does not meet GNG.  I couldn't find anything reliable/independent in a search for sources.  There are two independent sources, Bloomberg, which is only a passing mention and even then is somewhat ROUTINE, and HipHopNews, a dead link, but even assuming this was a beautifully written in-depth piece by an independent journalist, would not help meet GNG because it would be only a single instance of in-depth, independent, reliable coverage of the topic.    78.26   (spin me / revolutions) 12:58, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete: fails WP:NCORP. The official website is dead and the label's social media hasn't been updated since May 2015, which makes me think that it no longer exists. Given that there is almost no past coverage and it looks like there will be no future coverage, sources are going to be difficult to come by. It appears that Rodney Stepp might be the only artist on the label who might pass notability, and even then his article is clearly a self-written and unreferenced promotional bio, so it's hard to tell whether he actually is notable or not.
