Page "Salt-n-Pepa" Paragraph 2

With the success of this song, the group's name was changed to Salt-N-Pepa ( which they had called themselves in the first verse of the song ) and they signed to the independent Next Plateau Records to record a full-length album.

Roper then joined the group as the DJ, replacing DJ Latoya Hanson as Spinderella, and the group's first album Hot, Cool & Vicious was released afterwards in 1986.

The album was produced by Hurby " Luv Bug " Azor, Salt's boyfriend at the time and also the group's manager.

Years later, the women would have legal issues with Azor as they accused him of paying unfair royalties.
