Biography

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, Black's 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, All Music Guide

Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor, or "Fingerprints" as he was also known, is a hip hop music producer, best known for discovering the successful female hip-hop trio Salt-n-Pepa and the also successful hip-hop duo Kid 'n Play.

In the mid 1980s, with the fad of hip-hop response records all the rage, Hurby and the group Salt-n-Pepa (then known as Super Nature) recorded a response to Doug E. Fresh & The Get Fresh Crew's "The Show" called "The Show Stoppa." Though not as popular as most response records, Get Fresh Crew emcee Slick Rick did note years later, after he and the women later became friends, that the record annoyed him.[citation needed] Herby would also go on to produce Dana Dane, Sweet Tee, Kwamé, and others.

Hurby performed in Salt-N-Pepa's music video for "Push It", on keyboards and back vocals.

Wrote the song "Let's Talk About Sex".
