Valee: The new 'Watermelon Automobile' anthem is of course a Harry Fraud gem

Anything Harry Fraud serves up always hits. So of course the new Valee, Saba and Mavi ‘Watermelon Automobile’ goes hard from start to finish with a full-fledged project on deck.

Valee’s new ‘Watermelon Automobile’ single is officially streaming

While we’ll have to wait a few more days before Valee and Harry deliver their VIRTUOSO album out to the masses, the newest audio gem from the project is - of course - a must-hear.

Three of rap’s top young talents connect on “Watermelon Automobile”!

Personally hand-picked by Kanye West and signed to his G.O.O.D. Music imprint, it didn’t take long for Valee to make an impression.  Not only was Valee named Rolling Stone’s “Hot Rapper Of the Year,” he was also awarded Single of the Year by Spin Magazine for “Womp Womp” (which went Gold) featuring Jeremih.

Yet, what separates Valee from his peers, is that his completely original, unorthodox rap sketches are virtually a sub-genre of their own; one that inspired some of the culture’s biggest heavyweights to dissect, emulate, and copy his soft-spoken style and flow.  For fans of clever lyrics, effortless style, and endless swag, Valee’s artistry resembles trap music for the connoisseur. 

After a successful stint on G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam, Valee opted to embark on an independent career, one that would give the rising Chicago South Sider more opportunity to create as freely as possible. 

Now the rising star embarks on the next phase of his career with the announcement of Virtuoso, Valee’s forthcoming collaborative album with Harry Fraud.  Harry Fraud thrives on being entrusted with artists' most personal statements; recently, producing chart-topping projects for Curren$y (Vices), French Montana (Montega, which hit Billboard’s Top 200 chart), Dave East (Hoffa), Lil Peep (High Fashion), Benny The Butcher (The Plugs I Met 2), Jim Jones (The Fraud Department), Jay Worthy’s You Take The Credit, We’ll Take The Check and 38 Spesh’s Beyond Belief. 

After announcing the album with “Vibrant” featuring Action Bronson, Valee & Harry return with a new single, “Watermelon Automobile,” featuring fellow rising stars Saba & Mavi.  “Watermelon Automobile” was exclusively premiered by Fader.

Valee discussed how the “Watermelon Automobile” collaboration came together with Fader.  “I wanted to work with Saba for a while now and this project was the right time.  Plus, it’s Chicago!  I think Saba is one of the best to come outta the city.  I met Mavi at a show my manager (Andrew Barber) threw in Chicago, and I became a fan of his music and his live performance. It made too much sense to get him on this as well. He went crazy.”

Valee & Harry Fraud’s Virtuoso will be released on 7-21-23.

Valee: Action Bronson and Harry Fraud all link up for a 'VIBRANT' anthem

Spoiler? Anything Action Bronson is rocking with, it’s practically breaking news around these parts. My favorite rapper in the world - along with you, too, Curren$y - comes through with a huge guest spot on Valee’s new Harry Fraud-produced classic - yup, I said it, called ‘VIBRANT.’

The new Valee ‘VIBRANT’ song is straight audio flames

From start to finish, it’s just signature bars and the production you’ve come to love from Harry Fraud over the past decade-plus.

Valee returns—and this time he's back with Harry Fraud. 

Personally hand-picked by Kanye West and signed to his G.O.O.D.

In addition to the announcement of Virtuoso, the pair has also offered the album’s first single, “Vibrant,” which features Action Bronson.  “Vibrant” is now available at all DSP’s.   

“We’ve been quietly working on this project, and it’s finally ready for the world.  It will be unlike anything you’ve ever heard; so expect the unexpected” Valee commented. 

“Valee has been one of my favorite artists since the first time I heard him, and it's always been a goal of mine to collaborate with him” Harry Fraud professes.  “Valee and Bronson’s unique approach, and rare charisma complement each other perfectly on “Vibrant.”
