The band comprised of three members, Salt Jenkins, Pepper McDonald and a third member only known as 'n'. Originally calling themselves Supernature (for just the first single), James and Denton debuted in 1985 with the single "The Showstopper", an answer record to Doug E. Fresh's hit single "The Show". "The Showstopper" was produced by Hurby Azor, who had to do it as a school project. The song utilized a melody from the 1985 hit movie "Revenge of the Nerds". The finished recording garnered some airplay on a New York City rap radio program and the independent Pop Art Records gave it an official release whereby it became a modest R&B hit. With this success the group's name was changed to Salt-N-Pepa (which they had called themselves in the first verse of the song) and they then signed to the independent Next Plateau Records. Their 1986 debut album Hot, Cool & Vicious was soon released afterwards and was produced by Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor (Salt's boyfriend and also the group's manager). He received songwriting credit for the album that was later disputed as Salt-N-Pepa asserted they wrote lyrics for the album as well. It also featured DJ Latoya Hanson as Spinderella. She appears on the group's first album cover but not in any of the music videos as she was replaced very early on by Roper, who kept the name Spinderella
