Harry Fraud

Harry Fraud is a famous Celebrity, born on January 26, 1987 in United States. As of January 9, 2023, Harry Fraud’s net worth is $5 Million. Harry Fraud rose to prominence through his collaboration with French Montana on the song “New York Minute”, featuring Jadakiss, off of French’s fifth mixtape Mac Wit Da Cheese released on April 19, 2009. In a 2013 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Harry Fraud revealed first meeting close friend and artist French Montana during a recording session at a studio in Chinatown. Fraud recalls recording a song for someone which French happened to have a guest feature on. In an unusual turn of events, the building was raided by police after a tip-off that there were counterfeit Gucci and Louis Vuitton purses being manufactured at the same building. Having lost his studio spot, Fraud went on to form his own studio in Brooklyn, where the two “met and formed a bond”.

Following the release of “New York Minute”, the two artists would go on to record “We Playin In The Wind” off of French Montana’s sixth mixtape The Laundry Man 2, released on June 29, 2009. An extended version of the song would be included on French’s seventh mixtape Cocaine Konvicts released on September 25. Since then, Harry Fraud’s production has been a staple among French’s music, becoming Fraud’s gateway to working with other high-profile artists since then. With the success of “New York Minute”, rapper Ma$e had approached French Montana to hop on the remix, released on French’s eighth mixtape Coke Wave 2 in November that year. Fraud would go on to produce several tracks off of French’s ninth mixtape Mac & Cheese 2 released on May 6, 2010, and French’s tenth mixtape Coke Boys released on September 15, collaborating with Coke Boys rappers Chinx Drugz, Cheeze, Flip and Brock.

On April 8, 2013 Fraud and rapper Eddie B released a collaborative EP mixtape titled Horsepower through Man Bites Dog Records. Fraud also released an EP through Scion AV on May 7, 2013 titled Scion A/V Presents: High Tide. The free EP features guest appearances by Earl Sweatshirt, Tech N9ne, French Montana, Action Bronson, Riff Raff, Mistah F.A.B., Troy Ave, Smoke DZA and Chinx Drugz. On the same day he released an EP on iTunes of instrumentals all produced by himself titled Royal Ralm. On June 11, 2013 Fraud released his collaboration project with Action Bronson titled, Saaab Stories. The project featured collaborations with Raekwon, WIz Khalifa and Prodigy. It debuted at #63 on the Billboard 200.

Upon graduating high school, Fraud began interning at a recording studio, which became his first exposure to Pro Tools. He was also influenced by Fafu of BlesteNation, who was a producer at the same building. After getting into college, he acquired Pro Tools for himself, quickly immersing himself in front of the computer and becoming his main distraction, “I didn’t do any [school] work. I wouldn’t even go to class. It was terrible,” claimed Fraud in an interview with Nah Right. During his time in college, he met his friend Red Walrus – now the musical director of the band which Fraud works with – where the two bonded over digging through crates and buying vinyl records from places such as Goodwill and the Salvation Army. His musical composition has been used by the International Emmy Awards, which Fraud credits his father for getting through to its producers. Fraud’s composition work would go on to be praised by Simon Cowell, who, at the 2010 Emmy Awards ceremony took notice of Fraud’s walk up music, even requesting it be replayed briefly during his speech.

Fraud has produced collaborative records with various rappers, such as Flight 2011 (2011) with Chinx Drugz; Rugby Thompson (2012) with Smoke DZA; Cigarette Boats (2012) with Currensy, which was awarded XXL’s “2012 EP of the Year”; Saaab Stories (2013) with Action Bronson, which served as the latter’s major label debut, and The Appetizer (2014) with French Montana.

On April 3, 2014, he released his instrumental EP Blue/Green.
