Mason Derelle Betha (born August 27, 1977 in Jacksonville, Florida), better known by his stage name Mase, is an American rapper and inspirational speaker. He released his debut album, Harlem World, in 1997 and it went multi-platnium, spawning the singles Feel So Good and What You Want. During the promo tour for his second album, Double Up, he announced his retirement from music. In 2004, under guidance from Diddy he made a relatively successful comeback with the album Welcome Back, but then once again went back to focus on his new career as a preacher. In June 2009 a Mase remix of fellow rapper Drake’s hit single Best I Ever Had surfaced on the internet. When asked about his reason to return to music he cited the untimely death of Michael Jackson, and said that unexpected event had once again lit a fire inside of him and he wanted to start making music again in MJ’s memory.
Raised in Harlem, New York, Mason Betha began his music career as a hardcore gangsta rapper. While in the proto-supergroup “Children of the Corn”, he called himself Murder Mase, rapping alongside Big L, Cam’ron, McGruff and Bloodshed. In 1996, Mase travelled to Atlanta in hope of meeting producer Jermiane Dupri. Instead, he ran into Sean Combs and rapped for him on the spot in a nightclub. Puffy instantly signed Mase to Bad Boy records. His image was refined as Diddy set about developing a marketable pop rapper out of an artist formerly known for violent imagery in his lyrics.

10 years after mase's second album double up, i'm fully back into dude. his flow and lyrics were hot then and sound even hotter now. the first two jams on double up, stay out my way & get ready are r&b pop rap at its best. not to mention the jams on his first cd, harlem world. even mase's return cd 5 years ago, welcome back showed that lyrically & musically he's always on the bubble of what's hot. it would be nice to hear him again on something new...
