Lamb

Cainon Renard Lamb, professionally known as Lamb or Lamb Litty, was born on March 22, 1978, in Miami, Florida. Her musical journey began in the church, where she played drums. Lamb also excelled in sports, earning a full scholarship to Florida A&M University as a wide receiver for the FAMU Rattlers football team. During her college years, Lamb received an MPC, or “Beat Machine,” as a gift from her mother, Regina T. Lamb. She used this to create music for her local gospel rap group, Against da Grain. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, Lamb played professional arena football for the Tallahassee Thunder and Florida Firecats, winning the ArenaCup Championship in 2004 with the Firecats.

In 2004, Lamb’s music gained the attention of Grammy Award-winning artist Missy Elliott through an affiliation with Elliott’s Goldmind artist Lil Brianna. This led to Lamb’s first major song placement, “Selfish (I Want You to Myself),” on Fantasia Barrino’s 2004 debut album, “Free Yourself.” Following her retirement from football in late 2005, Lamb collaborated extensively with Missy Elliott, working with artists such as Monica, Ruben Studdard, Keyshia Cole, and Jazmine Sullivan. In 2007, Lamb produced “Let It Go” with Keyshia Cole, which became a number one record. She also produced Jazmine Sullivan’s debut single “Need U Bad” in 2008 and “Holding You Down (Goin’ in Circles)” from Sullivan’s sophomore album, “Love Me Back.” In 2010, Lamb produced three songs for Monica’s sixth studio album, “Still Standing,” including the number one hit single “Everything to Me,” which also marked Lamb’s television debut on Monica’s BET reality show. In 2011, Lamb founded her own company, Lambo Music Group, and co-produced Beyoncé’s “Countdown,” which peaked at number one on the Billboard Dance Club/Play Songs Chart. In 2017, Lamb made her rapping debut on Missy Elliott’s single “I’m Better.” Since 2018, Lamb has released music as a solo artist, including “Tru Luv” and “Ya Birthday.” In late 2019, Lamb produced Ozuna’s single “Eres Top” featuring Diddy & DJ Snake.

Beyond her work in production and performance, Lamb has maintained an entrepreneurial spirit across various industries for almost ten years. She has been a catalyst for change in the local music community by curating events and artist showcases, and nurturing creative development. Lamb has also provided resources and opportunities for emerging talents, extending her commitment beyond entertainment to fostering innovation in diverse fields. In 2020, Lamb and her production partner Bigg D signed new artists Rapper Love, Hip-Hop Miami, and social media star Sukihana under their production company, 12th and Collins Ent.
