The Catalog
Where It Started
Watts R.I.O.T. ft. Kendrick Lamar
2013. Sounwave on the beat, Kendrick on the verse, and a tweet that said you'd hear the name one day. Thirteen years later, the name's got its own address.
Deep Cuts
The Full Run — Press Play
Prefer to own it? No Rush 3 is on Bandcamp — buy it direct.
CaviArt
The label, the roster, and the standard. Founded in KC by Gee Watts — caviar and art, nothing less.
An independent Kansas City label and a way of seeing. Caviar and art — work of every medium, held to a standard. Home to Gee Watts's catalog, the long-running CaviArt album series, and the artists who move the same way.
The Label
CaviArt Records
The roster speaks through the records. Press play — the family's all in the music.
The Standard
Art Of Every Medium
Beyond the music — the label's eye on architecture, paint, film, type, objects. If it meets the bar, it lives here.
