Harry Fraud

Harry Fraud is the stage name of Rory William Quigley, a hip-hop producer, beatmaker, and songwriter whose list of collaborators includes Smoke DZA, Jim Jones, and Wiz Khalifa. He was born in New York City on January 26, 1987, and raised by musical parents who encouraged their son's creativity. Making his public debut as a producer in 2009, he began a fruitful partnership with French Montana, producing songs like "We Playin In The Wind," "Why So Serious," and the Jadakiss collaboration "New York Minute" that same year. Harry Fraud also began releasing his own mixtapes, debuting with 2009's B4 and issuing titles like 2011's Flight 2011 and 2012's Rob Zombie during the subsequent years. A dynamic force in the recording studio, he began receiving the same credit as many of the artists he produced, with Smoke DZA's 2012 release Rugby Thompson marking the first studio album to feature Fraud's name on the cover. Harry Fraud soon began receiving equal billing for virtually every album he worked on, including Eddie B's Paper, Piff & Polo (2013), Action Bronson's Saaab Stories (2013), Currensy's The OutRunners (2020), and Benny the Butcher's The Plugs I Met 2 (2021). The Plugs I Met 2 charted at Number 33 on the Billboard 200, while Hoffa — a collaboration with Dave East, released that same summer — peaked at Number 137.
