After 40 years of hits, inspirational moments, and creating a name in #HipHop so legendary, no other female duo/trio has been able to duplicate… Salt ‘n Pepa find they are set to lose all rights to their early #MasterRecordings.

Also, because they chose to fight UMG on the status of their #music (and are probably set to lose), UMG is responding by REMOVING THEIR FIRST ALBUM OFF ALL STREAMING PLATFORMS.

The #MusicIndusty | #MusicAdministration kids are going NUTS.
