Fall 2006, he teamed up with heavy weight Hip-Hop website Hip-HopGame.com. He released yet another mixtape “Another Day another Dollar”. By the end of 2006, every major, independent record company made offers to add him to their roster. While pursuing a record deal, Rain took notice of the climate in the industry and found that he needed to start his own company. Thus, First In Flight Entertainment was born. Representing his home state of NC, he continued to build his buzz with his consistent grind for making music. This landed him a feature on the first street DVD in the country, Smack DVD (Vol. 13).
