N.A.S.A. is a hip hop music group, consisting of L.A.-based DJ's/producers Sam Spiegel and Ze Gonzales. N.A.S.A. stands for North America/South America and they have collaborated with dozens of other artists from both the East and West Coasts of the U.S. and abroad.

Early history[]

Sam and Ze met at a friend's studio in April 2003 and began making music together shortly after that.

Initially, the two began producing music together purely for fun, using samples of rare Brazilian records from the 1960s and 1970s (discovered through a shared love of "crate digging") but this quickly developed into recording music seriously with several of their favorite musicians.<

Sam and Ze wanted their new project to bring people from vastly different backgrounds together through a shared inspiration and love of music. Thus N.A.S.A. was born and they have since collaborated with artists as disparate as Ol' Dirty Bastard, Karen O, Fatlip, George Clinton, Chali 2na, Tom Waits, Kool Keith, Kanye West, David Byrne, Childish Gambino, Lizzo, and DMX.
