June 01, 2006 - Damon Dash has inked a deal with Koch Records for his label, Damon Dash Music Group. He is also planning to drop a new album by Sizzla titled "The Overstanding". Dash launched Damon Dash Music Group in January of 2005 as a joint venture with the Island Def Jam Music Group but by May of 2005, reports surfaced that Universal was dropping the label, due to various business conflicts with Dash. Dame Dash Music Group's original roster featured such artists as Nicole Wray, Rell, N.O.R.E and the late rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard.

Koch also announced deals with Kedar Massenburg, the former CEO of Motown/Universal and Atlanta's longtime staple, Big Oomp, who will release a new album by DJ Unk.
