The Grammy Award winning group, Salt-N-Pepa, which consists of Cheryl James and Sandy Denton ("Salt" and "Pepa", respectively) are indeed here in Nigeria. The Legends, icons, trailblazers, pioneers, innovators and trendsetters (just a few words often used to describe this group) arrived Muritala Mohammed Airport yesterday evening specially for Rodizzio Entertainment’s DIVAS ROCK concert being organized by Rodizzio Entertainment.
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. They gave
women a voice in a male dominated industry and transformed the way the
music world saw women forever.
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
“We
are happy to be in Nigeria because it gives us an opportunity to
connect with our fans out here" said Salt. "When you have a chance to
see people outside from where we come from, there's nothing like it in
the world."
Rodizzio

Outside
of the realm of being legends of the hip hop game, Grammy Award winning
group, Salt-N-Pepa can also be called "revolutionaries of rap" and
"ground breakers of the game." Not only using their mic as a means to
make big beats and heads bob, but they also used it as means to get out
messages of importance and relevance. From safe sex to independence and
respecting yourself as a woman, Salt-N-Pepa saw the urgency and
importance of empowering the female race and using their voices through
the mic to influence millions with their
music.
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. Their contributions to a culture and to
the world of hip hop has influenced the landscape and look of music as
we know it today.
