SEATTLE—A local hip-hop artist has emerged as one of the de facto leaders of the self-proclaimed “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” in Seattle, or CHAZ, and has been referred to as a “warlord.”
Rapper Raz Simone, whose real name is Solomon Samuel Simone, rejected the label that he’s a “terrorist warlord” in a June 13 interview with The Epoch Times inside CHAZ. Online social media videos, however, paint a different picture.
