Producer Hurby Luv Bug Azor has found a successful formula of pop-crossover rap production that has made his acts such as Salt-N-Pepa and Kid 'N Play multi-platinum stars. While attending the Center of Media Arts in Manhatten, Azor met Salt-N-Pepa, two aspiring female rappers who had written an answer record to Slick Rick's The Show. Forwarding their demo to Marley Marl, Azor was able to secure the act a record deal and his production work on their debut album, Hot, Cool Vicious, led to the hit single Push It. After the group's third album, Blacks' Magic, Azor stopped managing Salt-N-Pepa, but by that point he had already set up Idol Makers Management and Idol Makers Films to begin work on video projects for the other groups he managed. ~ Steve Kurutz, Rovi
