NASA

The story of NASA (North America/South America) goes back four and half years when Squeak E. Clean (Sam Spiegel) and DJ Zegon (Ze Gonzales) met in Sao Paulo, Brazil and were instantly drawn together over their mutual love for rare Brazilian funk and soul records. They decided to share their experience and create a record that similarly brought people together from different music genres, races, religions, politics, countries, languages and ignoring these boundaries that keep people divided.

Over the past couple of years, they have acquired an impressive array of guest artists for the album with this goal in mind. Artists on the record include: Tom Waits, Method Man, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, George Clinton, David Byrne, Karen O. and Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Kool Keith, RZA, M.I.A., Spank Rock, Del the Funkee Homosapian, Kool Kojak, Nina Persson (the Cardigans), Fatlip (Pharcyde), Gift of Gab (Blackalicious), Chali 2na (Jurassic 5), Sizzla, Amanda Blank, Seu Jorge, Ras Congo, Slim Kid Tre, KRS-One, Barbie Hatch, John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers) Lovefoxxx (CSS), E40, Money Mark, De La Soul, DJ Swamp, DJ Mike Relm, Sadat X, DJ Qbert, Z-trip, Sean Lennon and more are being recorded over the next month.
