Wati B is a French record label established in 2000 by Dawala and rap band Intouchable and owned by Sony Music Entertainment. "Wati B" comes from Bambara: wati bɛɛ, a Bamanankan expression that means "all the time". Dawala directs the operations of the label.
Due to the popularity of its signed acts across the French-speaking world, Wati B established its own "Wati B" line of fashion apparel with the first "Wati Boutique" opened on 1 February 2011 in Paris.
The label has signed many acts including the very successful Sexion d'Assaut. It also produced Pur Son Guetto series with two volumes released.
