Timeline
Cheryl Renee James (born March 28 1966) is an American rapper.
She is best known as a member of the female rap trio Salt-N-Pepa, which also includes Pepa (Sandra Denton) and Spinderella (Deidra "Dee Dee" Roper).
After high school, James enrolled at Queensborough Community College to study nursing.
James dated Salt-N-Pepa group manager Hurby Azor during the early start of the group from 1984 until 1989.
James met Queens-native Sandra Denton in 1985 while attending college.
After forming a friendship with Denton, James' then-boyfriend and co-worker Hurby Azor approached the pair and asked them to record a rap for a class project.
They released five studio albums: Hot, Cool & Vicious (1986), A Salt with a Deadly Pepa (1988), Blacks' Magic (1990), Very Necessary (1993), and Brand New (1997).
With Azor's guidance as their manager, James and Denton then formed the group "Super Nature" (which eventually changed to "Salt N' Pepa") and were joined by Latoya Hanson who was replaced by Deidra Roper joined in 1987.
Salt also co-starred in the 1993 motion picture Who's the Man?.
In 1997, she recorded the song "Stomp" with gospel artists Kirk Franklin and God's Property for their album God's Property, one of the bestselling albums in gospel music history.
They were the first female rap act to have gold, platinum, and multi-platinum albums, and the first female rap act to win a Grammy.
This was the trio's first performance as Salt-N-Pepa since 1999.
James married her husband Gavin Wray on Christmas Eve 2000, although they dated for ten years before the marriage.

She was baptized into the Seventh-day Adventist Church on a mission trip in Ethiopia with Oakwood College.
The group disbanded in 2002 but reformed in 2008.
James appeared on VH1's inaugural Hip Hop Honors program in November 2004, along with Pepa, but they did not perform.

The daughter of a transit worker and Barbara James, a bank manager, James was born in Brooklyn, New York City.
The middle of three children, James grew up in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn.
On October 23, 2008, Salt-N-Pepa performed "Shoop", "Push It", and "Whatta Man" at the 2008 BET Hip Hop Awards.
