Harry Fraud otherwise known has H. Fraud is responsible for some of the hardest cuts French Montana has supplied to multiple tapes. Fraud has provided cuts on the mixtape tip that would perfectly suit as mainstream album production.
Probably the most recognized track from Fraud’s catalog is “New York Minute” for none other than French featuring Jadakiss on the original and Nicki Minaj on the remix. The feel of the track is definitely something New Yorkers could ride to while also having a somewhat mainstream sound. When creating a record it’s definitely not a bad thing when French is in your corner able to put out somewhat convincing hooks most likely learned and acquired through affiliation with the most wavy, Max B who is currently incarcerated.
Most recently, Fraud twisted some vintage samples for a New York bonding experience for French and Joe Crack leading up to “We Run NY“. Previously linking up with Duffle Bag Ran for “Everybody Know” he laid down some classic H. Fraud sounding acoustics to set the mood right. If French isn’t someone you can see yourself listening to at least give Harry the attention and recognize great production. French is up next for NY whether you like it or not and there’s no doubt in my mind Fraud is gonna be riding shotgun throughout the whole ordeal. Consistency can keep you relevant and it seems Fraud is doing just that.

Jermaine Cole is arguably one of the most talented artist’s we will get to see rise in our day and age. From a minor blog buzz to one of the most lyrical MC’s to touch a mic us getting a chance to witness the J. Cole takeover is truly phenomenal. If the majority of the cuts that made their way on the internet are in fact throwaways I’m dieing to see what Cole has locked away in those Roc Nation vaults. With production solely from himself and No I.D. and virtually no features as of yet you can be assured that this album will be one next to the greats.
With true presentation being hard to find in the current state of hip-hop, J. Cole is amongst the few who speak of his reality. Carrying Fayettenam on his back and having a shoulder such as Hova’s to lean there won’t be an artist like J. Cole for some time so during any listening session make sure you make Jermaine’s music a priority and soak it all up as it will fly by. With a slew of interviews lined up for thesidetracked you can pen the J. Cole one up there as well.
Here’s three loosies to hold you over until Jermaine’s debut album or until there’s anymore records that wander onto these internets of ours.
I came up, I warmed up, the next up, bitch I’m about to blow up
Take that quote for what it’s worth but it sounds to me he’s insinuating an album name or something of the sort.

I’m going to enter in on some retrospection, thinking back to when I first heard Neak’s music, I remember thinking “Wow he’s really honest.” And that turned out to only be the tip of the iceberg, since then Neako Bailey has grown and expanded his catalog to include an impressive batch of production and lyrical tracks most of which he’s solely responsible for. He just recently dropped his 4th installment in his The Rubix Cube mixtape series titled, Yellow Edition.
I recently caught up with Neako in Newark, NJ while he was shooting his “Resume & Name” video, N. Bailey kept it super “G” and got us in some dope shots for the visual. Check it out, I got my Good Wood tree piece on. Shouts to Neako and Bel-v.
If you’re lame and don’t have The Rubix Cube: Yellow Edition yet, make sure you download it here.
