about

Mason Durrell Betha (born August 27, 1977 in Jacksonville, Florida),[1] known by stage name Mase or "Ma$e", is an American rapper, best known as an artist on Sean "Diddy" Combs' hip hop label Bad Boy Records during the late 1990s. Mase also associated himself with G-Unit and recorded songs with several members of the label, despite not being officially signed. Raised in Harlem, New York, Mason Betha began his music career as a gangsta rapper. Originally a member of Children of the Corn, he called himself "Mase Murder", rapping alongside Big L, Cam'ron, McGruff and Bloodshed. In 1996, he traveled to Atlanta for a music conference, hoping to hook up with Jermaine Dupri; instead, he met Sean Combs, who signed him to Bad Boy after hearing him rap. His image was refined as Combs set about developing a marketable pop rapper out of an artist formerly known for violent imagery in his lyrics.[citation needed] That same year, Mase was featured on a remix of 112's "Only You", which instantly showcased the young rapper's talent. In 1997, he recorded and released his first album, Harlem World, which became a multi-platinum success, and featured the hit single "Feel So Good", which included a prominent sample of Kool & the Gang's "Hollywood Swinging" and the chorus from Miami Sound Machine's "Bad Boy". Other successful Harlem World singles included "What You Want", "Lookin' at Me", and "24 Hours to Live". Notably popular among mainstream audiences, Mase became one of the label's premier
