Seattle native Raz Simone has a very unique life story, which comes through in his music, and we wanted to know more. Our own Damon Campbell caught up with him for an exclusive three part interview in which Simone tells of owning a speakeasy, selling his mom's art, having his family being featured on Oprah, losing a backup singer to fellow Seattleite Macklemore and much more. Simone is a great storyteller, but even more so than that, he's lived a very interesting life, and it's fascinating to hear him detail it.

We've compiled all three parts into a playlist above, but you can also watch all three individually on the HNHH YouTube Channel.
