75 Ark is a hip hop record label based in San Francisco, California. It was created in 1998 when Toni Isabella, Anne Cook, along with Erik Gilbert and Rachel Matthews of Asphodel Records, left to form and run 75 Ark. NicheMusic was the parent company of 75 Ark, founded by David S Schulhof. [1] In June 2000, 75 Ark became the first record label to sign a deal with Napster.[2]
In 2002, Erik Gilbert formed Coup d'État Entertainment.[3] However, this label never achieved the level of success as 75 Ark.
