Following on from made-for-TV movie masterpieces centring around everyone from Michael Jackson to Whitney Houston, to Aaliyah and Toni Braxton, the channel is now tackling the story of the first female rap act to achieve certified-platinum status.

With a lengthy three-hour runtime, the movie highlights the dynamic duo's dramatic rise to fame. From teenage nursing students to international music icons in mere months off the back of recording a hit single in a New York City public bathroom, its a fascinating story that should suit the Lifetime format perfectly.

GG Townson takes on the role of Salt with Laila Odom playing Pepa, while The Next Step's Monique Jasmine Paul is their trusty sidekick on the wheel of steel, DJ Spinderella.

Both Salt and Pepa are credited as producers alongside fellow female rap icon Queen Latifah, and with it being an authorised biopic, you can expect to hear all the girls era-defining party anthems like Push It, Let's Talk About Sex and Whatta Man.
