Rayne Storm, whose birth name is Adi Ladson, was born December 7, 1983 and raised in a part of Harlem known to neighborhood old timers as "Sugar Hill". His experiences growing up there have been anything but sweet. After overcoming many setbacks and tragedies such as the untimely death of his sister and high school friend, the separation of his parents and a consistent barrage of lifes up and downs, Rayne began to express his emotions intensely in the form of music.

Always known for having a knack for creativity especially in writing, Rayne began to take rhyming serious in 1999 and began producing in 2001. After a stint with The Hip Hop Project, an afterschool music program founded by Artstart and sponsored by Bruce Willis (Actor) and Russell Simmons (Def Jam Founder), he met with Amber Ravenel and joined up with the then blossoming Ravenel Records family. Soon after joining Ravenel, Rayne began recording some of his first studio tracks and performing at several venues in New York City while getting a hands on experience in the music industry. Though his experience with Ravenel Records was a priceless one, his uncertainty about the direction he wanted to take in his career lead him to back away from the label and reflect on where he wanted to be in life.

Taking the knowledge he gained from Hip Hop Project, the experience with Ravenel Records and his own genius for creative business tactics and ideas, Rayne decided to begin building the one thing he has always longed for, his own entertainment company. Out of the ashes of his burning desire for success arose Monopoly House Entertainment. Developing new marketing and promotional ideas, Rayne Storm used his company to jump start his own career and began a massive online promotional movement.

Rayne Storm single-handedly created a buzz on the internet that reached from East to West Coast and internationally with a fan base in Romania and mixtape sales as far as Sri Lanka, India. He produced a classic independent single called Take A Stand featuring a sample of a famous Malcolm X speech backed by the vocals of Awwman (formerly known as Fame) garnering him recognition as a truly talented lyricist with a conscious. He continued to ride the momentum of success he achieved from Take A Stand (which received consistent play on a Vermont radio station and Internet stations) and began remixing the hottest songs out and dropping more original tracks and freestyles to keep the listeners ears filled with his voice.

He soon gained and maintained chart topping songs at popular music promotion sites such as Download.com and Soundclick.com. He also dominated on Jamwave.com where he currently holds the record for most site views, biggest fan club and top fan favorite artist, most downloads and most song plays by almost 10 times as much as the top competition.

Rayne Storm is unquestionably Hip Hops finest upcoming new artist. His presence, flow and vocal delivery have all been fine-tuned to industry ready perfection. His massive work ethic has lead him to produce hundreds of instrumentals with his own original style and sound and his determination to fulfill his musical destiny is going to propel him to new levels and help to bring back Hip Hop from its current watered down, dying state.

With a ton of collaborations on the table, several mixtapes in the works and his debut independent album The Light In The Dark on the way, its only a matter of time before all his years of struggle, heartbreak and pain add up to success, happiness and peace of mind. Until then the fire in his soul will continue to burn, fueling his desire to be to be more then the average man, make more then the average music and let the world know the storms coming.
