French Montana and Harry Fraud Unite for the New Album ‘Montega’
The tandem of French Montana and Harry Fraud have officially released their joint album Montega. For French, the release is his first independent release and fifth studio album. Fraud handles all of the production.
Fraud and Montana have reconnected to work together and discuss Montana’s history and distinctive brand of wave music. In order to create its own distinctive sound, Montega incorporates samples from many musical eras, such as those from the 1970s song “Since I First Laid Eyes on You” by Lou Courtney and the song “Femme Fatale” by Skylar Gudasz.
The album features Quavo, Benny the Butcher, Jadakiss, Chinx in a posthumous appearance, Rick Ross, Babyface Ray, and EST Gee. You can hear the album in full below.

French Montana & Harry Fraud Grab Jadakiss and Benny The Butcher for “Bricks & Bags”
French Montana and Harry Fraud are giving another tease to their new collaborative album, Montega, with “Bricks & Bags,” featuring Jadakiss and Benny The Butcher, the last single to be released before the album’s official release date.
“For ‘Bricks and Bags’ me and Fraud wanted to bring together two artists that, to me represent that impeccable Cokeboy sound” French commented. “Jadakiss gave me one of my first major co-signs when we did “New York Minute” in 2009. Benny continues to show why he is one of the best artists to emerge out of the East Coast in the past few years.”
“On ‘Bricks and Bags’ me and French wanted to create a record that brought us back to that grimy New York Era that shaped our youth” Harry Fraud asserted. “A hard-hitting beat with two of the deadliest lyricists in the game. Steel sharpens steel and this song personifies that.”
Montega will drop on Friday, but you can hear “Bricks & Bags” below.

In just a few days, French Montana will release his fifth album Montega, an effort that is produced entirely by Harry Fraud. The project will arrive just seven months after French released his fourth album They Got Amnesia, a 21-track effort that featured appearances from Rick Ross, Kodak Black, Pop Smoke, Lil Durk, Doja Cat, Saweetie, Fivio Foreign, Ty Dolla Sign, Moneybagg Yo, and many more. Before Montega, French and Harry decided to drop off one more single, this one being “Bricks & Bags” with Jadakiss and Benny The Butcher.
The new record is carried by a hook that Jadakiss and Benny repeat throughout the song, as they rap, “I should’ve signed to Coke Boys, but I was selling dope, boy.” Together, Benny, French, and Jadakiss deliver sharp verses on the song in that order as they all rap with confidence over the Harry Fraud-produced beat.
“Bricks & Bags” follows “Blue Chills” which French released last week. The release is one of four singles from Montega as French previously shared “Drive By” with Babyface Ray and “Alcatraz.”
