N.A.S.A. is an American hip hop music group that formed in Los Angeles, California. Consisting of Sam Spiegel and Zé Gonzales. N.A.S.A. stands for North America/South America and its members have collaborated with dozens of other artists from both the East and West Coasts of the U.S. and abroad. The group has been inactive since 2020, following the release of "The Spirit of Apollo (10th Anniversary Special Edition)."[1]

Early history

Sam and Zé 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 Zé 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.
