Before Queens duo Salt-N-Pepa, (Salt (Cheryl James) and Pepa (Sandra Denton)) was famously known as Salt-N-Pepa, they were originally known as Super Nature.

The East Coast female duo met at Queensborough Community College in City where they studied nursing and they worked together at Sears before joining together to create after being recruited by Hurbert “Hurby Luv Bug”. The group was formed in 1985 along with DJ Latoya Hanson, who was replaced by Deidra Roper as “ and Wendy Williams was almost a member. After the release of their first song “The Stoppa”, the group changed their name to Salt-N-Pepa. The successful release of their single “Push It,” off their Hot, Cool & Vicious would solidify them.
