On May 25, 2010In InterviewsComments [6]

Harry Fraud is a producer from Brooklyn, and he’s been doing his thing on the New York mixtape scene for a while now. With an impressive list of production credits and a distinctly recognizable sound, Fraud produces tracks that provide ideal backdrops for some of New York’s finest lyricists. He’s also probably the only producer to take a Don Henley song and flip it into a grimy NYC street banger (“New York Minute”). For this interview, Elevator caught up with Harry to discuss his beginnings, studio techniques, and what’s in store for the future.  Check out some of Harry Fraud’s production on French Montana’s latest mixtape, Mac and Cheese 2.
