Monte Cristoe

From Detroit, Michigan, Monte Cristoe is a hip-hop artist, rapper, and promoter. In the early 2010s, he was one of the main founders of Redteam Entertainment where he released mixtapes and organized countless events. He was often hired by Fresh Kid Ice to promote his shows in Michigan. This led to a friendship between the two artists. Fresh Kid Ice added Cristoe to the rosters of artists on his label Chinaman Records until the passing of the aforementioned in 2017. With them, Cristoe started to work nationwide. By the mid-2010s, Cristoe merged Redteam Entertainment with his company Horsetrainer, and took the mantle on his own. Locally, he is known to organize strip club events for mainstream audiences where he is dubbed as the king.
