Straight out of Harlem 20 year old rapper Mase (Mason Betha) managed to grab the attention of Puff Daddy at an industry party and got signed almost instantly. Dubbed Daddy€™s protégé, Mase has been featured on several Bad Boy productions including 112€™s remix of €œOnly You,€ Mariah Carey€™s €œHoney€ and Notorious B.I.G€™s €œMo Money Mo Problems.€ What€™s special about Mase? His monotonic rhyming style and he €˜speaks in a manner where€™s it€™s real street but also real easy to understand like LL Cool J€™ according to Deric €œD-Dot€ Angelettie co-producer of single €œFeel So Good€ (Rolling Stone, February 5, 1998). His debut album €œHarlem World€ went platinum in the first month of sale. The singles from the album €œFeel So Good€ and €œWhat You Want€ performed well on the Billboard charts €“ Mase is hopping on everyone€™s remix and is quickly proving to everybody why Puffy chose him as his hottest new artist.
