Los Angeles’ CLUB NOKIA and radio station 93.5 KDAY has announced a Saturday, December 26 “KDAY Nutcracker” performance by SALT-N-PEPA with special guests RODNEY-O, DOMINO and CANDYMAN. Tickets are on sale now.
Salt-N-Pepa were the first all-female rap crew, emerging in the late 1980s with “Show Stopper,” an answer to Dougie Fresh’s smash hit, “The Show.” They weren’t just the first, Salt-N-Pepa were pioneers who showed the industry that women were more than just window dressing or a gimmick. Cheryl James (Salt) and Sandy Denton (Pepa) established a standard with their string of hits, including “Push It,” “Shake Your Thang,” “Shoop,” “Whatta Man” and a social responsibility that paved the way for the likes of TLC, En Vogue, and others. Their first album, Hot, Cool & Vicious, had three hits, including “Push It,” which sold more than a million copies and became the first rap song to be nominated for a Grammy. The group has sold over 15 million albums and singles worldwide. Subsequent hits included “Shake Your Thang,” “Expression,” “Let’s Talk About Sex,” ‘Shoop,” “Whatta Man” and the Grammy-winning “None Of Your Business.” The group went their separate ways in 2002 but have recently teamed up for the VH-1 reality program “The Salt-N-Pepa Show.”
Club Nokia is a concert venue in the LA Live Nokia Plaza at 800 West Olympic Blvd. Suite A335, Los Angeles, CA 90015
