N.A.S.A. (North America South America), a collaboration between producer Sam “Squeak E. Clean” Spiegel (Crystal Castles, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Fatlip, 2Mex) and Brazilian turntablist DJ Zegon, is set to release a sprawling collection of tracks called The Spirit of Apollo.
Set for release via Anti- on February 17, The Spirit of Apollo includes a jaw-dropping assortment of MCs and singers. On the hip-hop side, there’s Ghostface Killah, RZA, Gift of Gab, M.I.A., Method Man, KRS-One and Del the Funky Homosapien. For vocals, there’s David Byrne (formerly of Talking Heads), Karen O from Yeah Yeah Yeahs, George Clinton, Lovefoxxx from CSS, Santogold and John Frusciante from Red Hot Chili Peppers. Shit, even Kanye West is scheduled to join in — although his track has yet to be confirmed. Comparisons to Handsome Boy Modeling School seem inevitable.
