| | Mase's second album Double Up was released despite Mase's stated misgivings his newfound religious convictions as he became born-again Christian. | | | In May 2004 Mase released his first single since a preacher entitled "Welcome Back"; the song on quickly--even despite Mase's being viewed as of a one-hit wonder a "flavor of week" or a has-been during the seven since his only mainstream hit--thanks in part to its chorus' lifting of the Welcome Back Kotter theme song. | | | In 1998 Mase was featured on Brandy 's second album's second single "Top Of World". |

| | Mase - Welcome Back :: Album Review |
| | Mase seems to remember how to make great melodies, as this one actually makes you forget how asinine the lyrics are. | | | For the people who have listened to the lyrics of his new songs off this cd should know that he hasn't left his new beliefs. | | | One thing Mase may make you remember is the late 90's, which in turn may make you remember the 80's since him and Puffy liked to sample from that particular decade (by sample, I mean take melody, chorus, beats and sometimes even lyrics). |

Diddy set about developing a marketable pop rapper out of an artist formerly known for violent imagery in his lyrics. | | | In 1997, the newly pop-friendly rapper, now known as "Ma$e" recorded and released his first album, Harlem World, which became a multiplatinum success, and featured the hit single "Feel So Good", which included a prominet sample of Kool and the Gang's "Hollywood Swinging" and the chorus from Miami Sound Machine's "Bad Boys". | | | During the promotional period for his second album, Double Up, and its single "Get Ready" (featuring Blackstreet), Ma$e announced that he had become a born-again Christian and was retiring from music. |
