The construction of a recording studio on the 2nd Floor of the building housing Black Umbrella will expand their programming capacity to include vocal, instrumental, and sound engineering opportunities, increasing Black Umbrella's ability to fulfill its mission of fostering the growth and development of artists, providing a resourced community and driving force in the creation of a supportive, inclusive, and nationally vindicated hip-hop scene in Seattle. Additionally, Black Umbrella plans to host weekly drop-in studio hours free for educational use, and discounted rates for people within the community.
Solomon Samuel Simone (born January 15, 1990), known by his stage name Raz Simone (/ræz sɪˈmoʊn/) and formerly Razpy, is an American recording artist, songwriter, and political activist and organizer[1] from Seattle, Washington. A hip hop artist, he built his brand by releasing EPs, touring, and filming music videos through his company Black Umbrella.[2] He gained recognition after releasing his debut solo EP, Solomon Samuel Simone.
Simone has also collaborated with a variety of rappers, such as Roc Nation label member Jay Park, and GOOD Music artist Pusha T on the track featuring King Leez titled "That Ain't Love", which was praised by hip-hop blog sites.[3]
In June 2020, during the George Floyd protests in Seattle, Simone emerged as an active member of the self-declared Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.[4][5] Conservative news outlets and publications including Fox News,[6] Townhall,[7] and City Journal[8] featured Simone prominently in their coverage of the zone, characterizing him as a "warlord" policing the area with an AK-47 and highlighting an interaction where Simone allegedly assaulted a tagger.[7]
Raz Simone owned a club by the age of 19, bought a Tesla, and still hasn’t made a cent off of a record; or even tried. He’s from the hood in Seattle, which most people don’t even know exists. He is also the CEO & founder of a music company called Black Umbrella. When he sings, raps or speaks you can feel how genuine, heavy & real each word is. He’s released 4 projects and several videos in the past 2 years, & you can find them all at razsimone.com.

Raz somehow received a grant for $82,000 from the city of Seattle to open his own studio in a building he purchased with another loan.
And Raz owns multiple luxury cars, including a Tesla, a BMW and a Jaguar XJ.
He also owns some prime real estate and rental properties.
He owns the RAZ fashion line, the Aurora Smoke Shop, a social club called “The Spot”, the Black Umbrella Corporation. All this came from funding in sweetheart deals.
Solomon Samuel Simone (aka RAZ from CHAZ or CHOP) is the proclaimed warlord of CHAZ, the multi-block area located in Seattle.
