Salt-N-Pepa is a famous American female hip-hop group, originally from Queens, New York. The group was formed in 1985 and consists of a trio of women: Cheryl James (Salt), Sandra Denton (Pepa), and Deidra Roper (DJ Spinderella). Their unique musical style, which mixes hip-hop with pop and dance, played a crucial role in opening up hip-hop to mainstream audiences. The group saw their first major success in 1987 with the single "Push It", which topped the charts worldwide. Salt-N-Pepa is recognized as one of the first female hip-hop groups to achieve such a level of commercial success and popularity. Their bold lyrics, especially on issues of sex, love, and relationships, challenged the norms of the genre at the time and greatly contributed to opening up the genre to more diverse female voices. Throughout their career, they have won numerous prestigious awards, including a Grammy Award in 1995 for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group, making them the first female hip-hop group to win a Grammy. Even after the group disbanded in 2002, Salt-N-Pepa remains an influential name in the music industry and continues to occasionally tour together. In 2020, the trio was honored with a LifeTime Achievement Award at the Grammy Awards, reaffirming their lasting impact on music and hip-hop culture.
