Mase

Mase, born Mason Durell Betha on August 27, 1975, is an influential American rapper, songwriter and minister known for his smooth flow and clever wordplay that rose to prominence in the late 1990s. His career skyrocketed after being signed by Sean "Diddy" Combs to Bad Boy Records, where he was integral to the label's success during that era. Mase's debut album "Harlem World" (1997) was a critical and commercial success, featuring hits like "Feel So Good" and "What You Want," and it solidified his place in hip-hop history.

Despite his initial success, Mase's journey took an unexpected turn in 1999 when he announced his retirement from music to pursue a calling as a Christian minister. This hiatus lasted for about five years, and he returned with the album "Welcome Back" in 2004, showcasing a more positive, less explicit style. Mase continues to produce music that often weaves in elements of his faith and personal struggles, evident in his more recent work such as the mixtape "Oracle 2: The Liberation of Mason Betha" and emotive tracks like "I Can't Breathe (Live)." Throughout his sporadic releases, he has maintained a loyal fan base and remains a respected figure for his contributions to the golden age of hip-hop.
