"Make It Rain" is a song by American rapper Fat Joe, released in 2006 as the first single from his seventh album Me, Myself & I. It features American rapper Lil Wayne, who only raps the chorus (but contributes a verse on the remix), and was produced by Scott Storch. The song peaked at number 13 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[1] It was released through EMI, Virgin Records, and Fat Joe's Terror Squad Entertainment.

It was nominated for a Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group at the 50th 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 game Def Jam: Icon and is Fat Joe's fighting song.
