N.E.E.T. Recordings was a vanity record label of Sri Lankan English hip hop recording artist M.I.A. as an imprint of Interscope Records in 2008.[1] N.E.E.T. is an acronym for "Not in Education, Employment or Training".[2][3]

The first artist signed to the label was Baltimore rapper Rye Rye,[4] while A. R. Rahman's Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack was the label's first official release.[5] Seeking to expose new, underground music, M.I.A. signed Baltimore musician Blaqstarr, indie rock band Sleigh Bells and visual artist Jaime Martinez in 2009.[6][7][8][9]
