Salt-N-Pepa gave females across the globe a voice within their communities and the music industry as a whole. As the first ever female rap crew, Salt-N-Pepa, broke barriers and opened doors wide open that were once closed to women in hip-hop.

With the hit songs, “Push It”, “Tramp”, “Shake Your Thang”, “Shoop” and “Whatta Man”, Salt-N-Pepa would defy everyone’s expectations and catapult hip-hop to new levels.

Whether it’s the top of the charts or on stages at sold out shows across the continent, Salt-N-Pepa, consisting of Cheryl James (Salt) and Sandy Denton (Pepa) along with Deidre “Dee Dee” Roper (DJ Spinderella), changed the face of hip-hop as we know it. No matter what you call them, Salt-N-Pepa revolutionized a people, changed a culture and totally revamped the way the world saw music forever. You can’t list or mention the top rap songs of all time without their hit songs showing up. And you can’t talk about music history without mentioning their names.
