About Us:
Milwaukee-born Kid Crab aka Lamontiz
began his hip hop career in the mid
80's winning first place in a midwest
regional talent contest. Joining
forces with Speech and Strick, the
trio of teenagers rapped, recorded and
toured the midwest as FRESH WALKING
FAMILY. But changes pulled them apart
with Speech joining Arrested
Development and Strick signing to
Tommy Boy Records. With a family on
the way, Crab chose a steady income
with the Milwaukee Police Department,
taking a 9 year hiatus from recording
and PUBLIC performances. However he
kept his ear to the street and
continued writing in his spare time.
In 1999 he resurfaced with a topical
single called WUTZ GOIN' ON, spirited
by his troubled and visible departure
from the MPD. In 2000 Crab had his
first nationwide radio hit - PLENTY
MAN ENUF - an answer song to Toni
Braxton's Wasn't Man Enough. When the
money didn't roll in, Kid Crab rolled
on - literally - to truck driving
school and a different kind of
'touring the country'. With long hours
on the open road, Crabs' radio was
always blasting. Sometime in 2002, on
a lonesome highway somewhere in
Nebraska, Paul Hardcastle's smooth
jazz sounds grabbed the Crab. Within
weeks the Crabby-One had written,
recorded and mixed a complete hip hop
treatment to a Hardcastle track and
had inked a deal as contributing
artist to Hardcastle's upcoming
JAZZMASTERS 4 CD. In 2003 that disc
reached No. 4 on the Billboards
International Contemporary Jazz
charts. It remained on the charts over
six consecutive months , helped in
part by Crab's auto-biographical
contribution "IF YOU KNEW", a rap
about growing up in Milwaukee. In 2005
a new CD, HARDCASTLE 4 made it to the
top of the International Contemporary
Jazz charts, holding the Billboards
No. 1 position for several weeks and
spurred on by another Crab-Hardcastle
collaboration, SMOOTH JAZZ IS BUMPIN'.
He has since released two solo albums:
"Worldwide Hustle" as Kid Crab and
"Waitin' To Excel" under alias
Lamontiz. Following the 2007 release
of Worldwide Hustle one of the singles
from his album entitled "Krack N Blow"
which was produced by Ivor Novello
award winner Paul Hardcastle was
licensed and included on a compilation
album "Delicious Grooves" which also
featured Urban AC superstars RAHSHAAN
PATERSON, ANGELA WINBUSH and ABODIUM
from THE LAST POETS to name a few. Kid
Crab is also featured on the 25th
anniversary remix of Paul Hardcastle's
biggest hit record "19" which sold in
excess of 4 million copies worldwide.
In 2010, less than one month following
the release of his sophomore album
"Waitin' To Excel", one of the singles
from the album entitled "Definition Of
A Boss" was selected and placed on
(The LARGEST most downloaded mixtape
series in the WORLD)- Coast 2 Coast
Mixtape Vol. 131 hosted by Wale
featuring such other artists as Jay-Z,
Rick Ross, T.I., Drake, Busta Rhymes,
Usher, John Legend, Young Jeezy & Big
Boi to name a few . 2011 jumped off to
a great running start with another of
his singles entitled "No Problumz"
being 1 of ONLY 5 out of THOUSANDS of
independent artist submissions chosen
for placement on another MAJOR Coast 2
Coast mixtape Vol. 146 Hosted by
Dipset featuring a host of other
"GREATS" currently in the music
industry.
It is no doubt that Lamontiz aka Kid
Crab is destined for GREATNESS. More

TELL EVERY ONE ABOUT
IMRadio -- Got to
thinking. What if each of
us independent musicians
told our family, friends,
fans and acquaintances
about IMRadio.com, how
besides the main
stations, it has stations
for each of the states
individually, 75
countries, and just about
every musical genre --
reaching any internet
connection around the
world. We could tell them
in person, on the
internet or at small or
large venues. Anyone we
tell would appreciate the
convenience of such good
music from independent
musicians on their
computer. It would be
such a good way to help
all of us reach even more
listeners. With IMRadio,
we aren't just waiting at
the mercy of some major
label to decide whether
or not they will let us
be heard around the
world. There are enough
of us that the outreach
could be exponential.
And, wouldn't it be a
great way to say 'thank
you' to Paddy and all of
the other fine folks who
have put IMRadio.com on
the world's musical map.
They have put in money,
time, energy and
dedication, and all they
have asked of us in
return is to upload our
music and profile. I am
sure that they have great
plans to publicize
IMRadio and bring it to
even more listeners. In
the meantime, though,
wouldn't it be great if
we could all help a
little by just taking a
little time each day to
tell family, friends,
fans and acquaintances
about IMRadio. It
wouldn't cost a dime,
just a little time.
Yours, in Musical
Solidarity, Paul.
