The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame unveiled its 2025 list of inductees, featuring trailblazing acts like OutKast and Salt-N-Pepa.
OutKast—the influential Atlanta duo made up of Big Boi and André 3000—will be inducted into the Performer category, recognizing artists whose innovation reshaped the direction of rock and roll. Known for groundbreaking albums such as “ATLiens” and the Grammy-winning “Speakerboxxx/The Love Below,” the duo transformed Southern hip-hop during an era dominated by East and West Coast sounds.
Salt-N-Pepa will receive the Musical Influence Award. Cheryl “Salt” James, Sandra “Pepa” Denton, and DJ Spinderella paved the way for women in hip-hop with hits such as “Push It” and “Shoop.”
The induction ceremony will take place Nov. 8 in Los Angeles.
