We told you to look out for Raz Simone a while back and now the Seattle MC has dropped his 'Cognitive Dissonance: Part One' album, a glimpse into the mind of a good but conflicted street kid who made the best out of some bad circumstances.

With soul of a poet and the business savvy of a street hustler, Simone reflects on his come up on Seattle's streets pimping and drug dealing all while asking himself if the ends justify the means.

In addition to the LP Raz Simone has released a video for 'They'll Speak' the album's first track that illustrates the album's mood. Simone takes us for a nighttime spin through Seattle while he reflects on his struggles and recent success. (Huge on the Pacific Northwest's indie rap circuit, Simone is the first signee to Lyor Cohen, Todd Moskowitz and Kevin Lile's 300 company.)
