Brand New is the fifth and final studio album by rap trio Salt-n-Pepa. It was released on October 21, 1997, by Red Ant Entertainment. Red Ant filed for bankruptcy before the album was officially released. Salt-n-Pepa toured to support the album, although the album had no other promotion whatsoever. Brand New had two minor hits: "R U Ready" and "Gitty Up", the latter of which samples the Rick James song "Give It to Me Baby". The album was certified gold in the United States.
