Unfortunately, N.A.S.A., the DJ duo behind the album, fails to live up to the extraordinary potential of their project.Sam “Squeak E. Clean” Spiegel and Ze “DJ Zegon” Gonzales named their collaboration N.A.S.A.—which stands for North America/South America—to reflect the combination of L.A.-based Spiegel’s specialty in hip-hop and the strong influence of Gonzales’s hometown...
