New Instrumental Release from Nasa

On Christmas Morning, Nasa dropped his latest Instrumental LP with Uncommon Records.  It's exclusively available in the Uncommon Online Store, and it's a project where you can "Name Your Own Price".  Either grab it for free or donate something to the bum cup! 

The Iomega Years is an album that was truly 10 years in the making because it collects an entire decade of lost beats from Nasa. All previously unreleased and unheard, The Iomega Years collects one beat from each year of the first decade of beat making from Nasa (1999-2009).

Nasa recently moved on from saving all his beats on an Iomega Zip Drive after 10 plus years of reliable service. Nasa's Iomega heard every kick and every snare and saved every sample played, this album is dedicated to the device that is now seeing it's semi-retirement. You can hear Nasa's rough around the edges beginnings on the MPC 2000xl all the way through the progressive sound that he's known for today. It's like watching a time lapse photograph, as you witness his style evolve in a way that no other producer has ever let you see.

The project is accompanied by snippets of historical events that happened in the years that each beat was made so that you are transported back to the time, place and mindset of Nasa at that very moment!

Sit back, get comfotable and take this trip with with Nasa, you'll have a lot of "I remember where I was when" moments on this journey and hear an artist grow at the same time.

People talking to Nasa lately...

Nasa has done two interviews in the last 2 weeks.  In case you missed them, he talks a lot about his foundations in music, what inspired him to start Uncommon Records and about surviving in today's technology driven era of Music and Hip-Hop in both of them. 

The first was on Ant Farm Affiliates' Website as part of their "Conversations with Tha Cataclysm" series.  It focused on Nasa's mixing and producing career mainly, but got into other things as well.  It also came with a video of Nasa showing off the "Illustrious" Nasa Labs studio, which you can see below.

The second interview Nasa did was with Subtitle on his new blog.  This interview focused on the pioneering NYC Indie scene that Nasa was a part of, the evolution and de-evolution of it and it's resurgence.  It also talks heavily about Uncommon Records in the here and now.  It has been called a "must-read" by many, check it out.
