SUBSTANTIAL’S LATEST RELEASE “SALT-N-PEPA” FLEXES AGING GRACEFULLY OVER A MASHUP OF JAZZ HOP, BREAKBEAT, AND BALTIMORE CLUB MUSIC
Friday, April 21, 2023 (Alexandria, VA) — International Hip-Hop recording artist, Substantial’s latest single, “Salt-N-Pepa” features GRAMMY-nominated songwriter/MC, Black Root, and frequent collaborator and Bop Alloy member, Marcus D.
Salt-N-Pepa was inspired by the idea of aging gracefully in life and music. Sonically, the song draws inspiration from Baltimore Club Music and Jazz Hop. Marcus adds his signature Jazz touch on the keys while Black Root reimagines Hip-Hop legends, Salt-N-Pepa's lyrics, "Salt-N-Pepa's here" from the classic "Push It" to say "Salt and Pepper Beard". It's a little tongue-in-cheek bars, with a ton of veteran swag, wrapped in an exciting, upbeat, Hip-Hop dance track. “Look at all that wisdom!”
“Salt-N-Pepa” is from Substantial’s upcoming fifth solo album Adultish and is available today on all digital streaming platforms. Catch Substantial on tour with EyeQ this May, performing Salt-N-Pepa and more live.
