Legends, icons, innovators, sexy, pioneers, sassy & independent – there are many different ways we could describe this phenomenal history-changing group. From Grammys to MTV Awards, these ladies have won them all and paved the way forwomen in hip-hop. They gave females across the globe a voice within their communities and the music industry as a whole, and changed the face of hip-hop as we know it. They are Salt-N-Pepa, and they are making their way to Australia in November with shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Gold Coast.
Hailing from New York, Salt (Cheryl James) and Pepa (Sandy Denton), first burst into the worldwide spotlight in the late 80’s with their international smash hit “Push It”, which can still be heard in clubs across the world today. They broke boundaries and opened doors wide open that were once closed to women in hip-hop. They gave females a voice in a male dominated industry and transformed the way the music world saw women forever. Over the years they released hit after hit including “Lets Talk About Sex”, “Shoop”, “Whatta Man”, “Do You Want Me” and “Tramp”, and would defy everyone’s expectations and catapult hip-hop to new levels. They went on to sell a phenomenal 15 million records worldwide, making them the bestselling female rap group of our time. Their contribution to a culture and to the world of hip-hop has influenced the landscape and look of music as we know it today.
Twenty-five years into their career, they continue to aspire to great heights with history making firsts. Not only were they the first female rappers to receive a Grammy, but they were also one of the few select rappers to have the distinct honour of performing on The Oprah Winfrey Show during its history-making run.
