Big Gates Records also contracted national rap artists Who|date=August 2007 to perform in Southwest Florida venues.

Plies initially refused to rap, however after a demonstration for one of his artist, Ronell kept Plies on the track for "Tell Dem Krackers Dat". Levatte and Plies worked hard promoting the single and traveled many times to Miami. This eventually led to a deal for Plies on Slip-N-Slide Records.
