Kevin Lavitt is a producer, musician and singer who’s done the bulk of his work in Seattle with Raz Simone and the rest of the Black Umbrella family. His debut EP, Planets, is self-produced and features a number of area MCs and vocalists. The album’s eight tracks are heady, soulful doses of modern hip-hop and R&B, one of the highlights being “Strange” which finds singer and frequent Black Umbrella collaborator Ariana DeBoo stretching out her jazz vocals.
