Hurby 'Luv Bug' Azor was midden jaren '80 een student aan een kunstacademie in New York, die op het punt stond af te studeren.
Op het kantoor waar hij een bijbaantje had werkte toevallig een meisje dat in haar vrije tijd rapster was, en dat bracht Hurby op een idee: hij zou samen met dat meisje een plaat opnemen en die inleveren als eindexamenproject.
Hurby nam een paar nummers met de meiden op, leverde ze in bij z'n docent en hoopte op een goede uitslag.

 Music: Moms & Pop (The Boston Phoenix . 12-01-97)
Written, like all their early material, by their producer and mentor (and Salt's lover), Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor, the song lived up to its title, turning sex into a hook as insistent as the tune's maddeningly catchy synth riff.
Azor and his crew were quick to capitalize on this formula, instantly re-releasing the album with "Push It" added on, and then plying the duo's frank sexuality without let-up for the next decade, scoring ever bigger hits like "It's Your Thang," "Let's Talk About Sex," and "Shoop."
Elsewhere, Pepa handles Hurby's role, writing several love and sex numbers, like the sultry RandB/rap combo "Knock, Knock" and the bouncy jaunt "Boy Toy" (which is lifted higher, like so many of their raps, by the vocals of their trusty DJ, Deidra "Spin" Roper).

Hurby "Lovebug" Azor introduced Antoinette on his compilation album, Hurby's Machine.
Described as a tough-talking rap mama, there was more to Antoinette than merely that.
Although fresh and natural, her debut was largely straightforward gangsta-talk, but the follow-up established her as a much more flexible talent, as her raps moved through sexually explicit narratives to defiant snippets of feminist tract, over waves of music that encompassed funk, go-go and house.

Play's former bandmate, Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor, became the duo's manager and signed Kid 'n Play to Select Records in 1987.
Despite the predominance of James Brown samples during the mid-'80s, Azor gave 2 Hype a production job more rooted in disco and pop; thanks to the near-Top Ten R&B hit "Rollin' with Kid 'n Play," the album eventually reached platinum status.
Though many rappers were more successful at the time, Kid 'n Play became film stars due to their clean-cut image -- Kid's six-inch "eraserhead" hairstyle, which seemed outrageous to white audiences, was vindicated by his honest, well-scrubbed face.

In 1985, Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick had a hit song call "The Show." A young man by the name of Hurby Azor decided that for a school project he would have some women respond.
He recruited two females who were his co-workers at Sears, his on again-off again girlfriend Cheryl James and her best friend Sandra Denton (who, interestingly enough, was more into punk rock than hip hop).
Azor wrote the lyrics and produced the track himself and "The Showstopper" became a mild hit big enough to parlay the group into a record deal.

Salt and Pepa met when they were nursing students at Queens college in the mid-'80s.
Their first release, recorded under the name Super Nature, was "The Showstopper," written and produced by Hurby "Luvbug" Azor as a response to Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick's "The Show." By the time of their first album, Hot Cool and Vicious, they'd adopted the Salt 'N Pepa moniker.
The first single off the album, "Tramp" (an update of an old Otis Redding/ Clara Thomas song) was successful, but it was the disc's b-side, "Push It,"--frankly sexual and suitably hooky--that put them on the road to becoming rap superstars.

When I started to work with Hurby, I sat back and watched him make these beats and write these rhymes, but that isn't how I learned to use the equipment.
When he went on tour, me and Hurby's little brother broke into his room and took all of his equipment, learned how to use it, then put it all back before got home from the tour.
