In the summer of 2005, Calderón signed a joint venture deal between Atlantic Records and his own independent label, Jiggiri Records, for the amount of a million dollars as reported in the Hip Hop/Reggaeton publications of the time. What was supposed to be the further expansion of Tego into the mainstream consciousness by signing with such a prestigious label, was met with harsh criticism from the Latino hip hop/reggaeton community as it seemed like Atlantic did not know what to do with Tego and he notably fell in popularity with the mainstream audience during the release and promotion of his follow-up to 'El Enemy De Los Guasibiri', the critically acclaimed and much hyped "The Underdog".
