Weeks later, Mase appeared on a street remix for Drake's 'Best I Ever Had.' Mase stated that since the death of Michael Jackson it has lit the fire inside him and he is ready to come back. In early June 2009, he was featured on the last verse of 'Uptown Boy' by Harry O, signed to The Inc., which also features Ron Browz. He is married to Twyla Betha and leads an international ministry.įollowing the formula that worked for him 13 years earlier, Mase has begun to appear on popular R&B artists' remixes. By the time Mase released his own debut album, Harlem World, in late 1997, the rapper had become Bad Boy's premier artist, filling the void left by the death of Biggie Smalls.

He then featured Mase on several songs on his own debut album, No Way Out: the lead single, 'Can't Nobody Hold Me Down', which hit number one on the Rap, R&B, and Pop charts, as well as on 'Been Around the World', which would also reach number one on Billboard's Hot Rap Tracks. Puff Daddy (Diddy) featured Mase on 'Mo' Money, Mo' Problems' from The Notorious B.I.G.'s double-LP Life After Death, the album's biggest hit single. With his soon-to-be-trademarked slow flow, Mase quickly developed a crossover fan base as he was featured on original tracks, as well as remixes, by popular R&B artists such as Brian McKnight, Mariah Carey, Keith Sweat, and Brandy, among others. He was introduced as Bad Boy Entertainment's next big artist during the summer of 1996 when he was featured on the remix to 112's debut single, 'Only You', which peaked at number one on Billboard's Hot Dance Singles Sales chart as well as its Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart. He was an artist on Sean 'Diddy' Combs's hip hop label Bad Boy Records. Mason Durell Betha (born August 27, 1975), better known by stage name Mase (often typeset as Ma$e) who was previously known as Murda Ma$e, is an American rapper, songwriter, actor and inspirational speaker.
