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.
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.
