Mase - Welcome Back

Welcome Back is Mase's first disc since his retirement from rap in 1999. During his break from the music game, Mase turned to the church and has since become a pastor. He's not being welcomed back into the rap world by everyone though - some peeps think P. Diddy's sidekick should choose one or the other (religion or rap). Controversial or not, Mase's new album has some great hits.

Mase - Welcome Back Fun Facts

Mase returns to work with P. Diddy on his latest album which was partly produced by Bad Boy Records.

The song Welcome Back features samples from the 70s TV show, Welcome Back Kotter, which starred John Travolta.

Mase has his own ministry called S.A.N.E Church International where he is known as Pastor Mason D. Betha.

There are no explicit lyrics on Mase's new album, a bit of a change from his discs in the past.
