We had the good fortune of connecting with Watik Aleem and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Watik, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I decided to get into the entertainment business due to my son, Rashon Butler aka Lkeys, wanting to become an artist. I found out early in his career that he was pretty talented and wanted to support him as much as possibly. I also had been working with another local rapper who’s name is Kingdom was an up and coming artist. I’ve always wanted to getting into the music business and my son was the way in.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
We are a newly formed music business that has been working in this capacity for a little over 5 years. What I’m most proud of is the ablity to learning and seeing the growth over time. By all means this isn’t easy and takes a whole lot of time and money to get to where we want to be but it has it’s highs and lows.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would take them to the following places:

Central City
Zip Lining in Castle Rock
Shannon Hans
Eddie V’s
Arapahoe Bowling Lanes
Four Seasons Resturant
The Pancake House

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Yes, I would like to shoot out WarriorNOW organization. Brian/Malinda and Todd have been very instrumental in my development and has mentored me along my professional growth as their organizations COO. I’m a disabled veteran and have found my purpose in working with other veterans in need. They have enturusted in me to lead and help develope the grass root organization. Also, if it wasn’t for my wife Carol Aleem being by my side and supporting me I wouldn’t be the person I am today and my love and gratitude goes out to her.
