"Make It Rain" is a song by American rapperFat Joe, released in 2006 as the first single from his seventh albumMe, Myself & I. It features American rapperLil Wayne, who only raps the chorus (but contributes a verse on the remix), and was produced byScott Storch. The song peaked at number 13 on the USBillboard Hot 100.^[1] It was released throughEMI,Virgin Records, and Fat Joe'sTerror Squad Entertainment.

It was nominated for aBest Rap Performance by a Duo or Group at the50th Annual Grammy Awards. The Exclusive Def Jam Version, which does not feature Lil Wayne and instead has a hook by Fat Joe, is featured in the gameDef Jam: Icon and is Fat Joe's fighting song.

Fat Joe was on a tour stop in Memphis, he decided he wanted to make a southern style hip-hop song after hearing what the local clubs were playing. He also realized there was no popular songs for strip clubs with lyrics of throwing money. Fat Joe enlisted Storch to make a southern sounding beat which the producer was initially opposed to. ProducerIrv Gotti recommended to haveLil Wayne, who was from the southern U.S, instead to match the regional sound of the record. Fat Joe having already written the chorus, sent the demo to Lil Wayne who sent back the final version of the song the next day.^[2]

Make It Rain debuted at number 55 on the USBillboard Hot 100 chart, on the week of November 18, 2006.^[3] After climbing the chart for 13 weeks, the song reached its peak at number 13 on the chart dated February 17, 2007.^[1] On May 15, 2007, the single was certifiedplatinum by theRecording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of over a million downloads in the United States.^[4]
