Cheryl ‘Salt” James on 40 Years in Hip Hop, Fighting for Her Masters & Debut Solo Album

Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and hip hop legend Cheryl “Salt” James sits down with The Kid Mero on Hot 97’s Mornings with Mero to celebrate the 40th anniversary of “Push It,” discuss her debut solo album Salty and Lit (dropping September 25th), and open up about the fight for Salt-N-Pepa’s masters, reuniting with Spinderella, and why authenticity is the key to longevity in hip hop.

Salt reflects on touring with En Vogue and TLC on the “It’s Iconic” tour, the evolution of women in rap, bringing “nutrition” back to the music, and why she still performs live every single night — no lip syncing, ever. Plus: her thoughts on the current state of hip hop, supporting independent artists, and becoming a grandmother.
