N.E.E.T. Recordings is a vanity record label of Sri Lankan English hip hop recording artist M.I.A. as an imprint of Interscope Records in 2008. N.E.E.T. is an acronym for "Not in Education, Employment or Training".
The first artist signed to the label was Baltimore rapper Rye Rye, while A. R. Rahman's Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack was the label's first official release.
