Today marks the birthday of Ma$e. The Harlem native began his career rapping alongside Harlem legends, the late Big L and Cam'ron (at the time known as Killa Cam). He gained notoriety in the 90s while signed to Bad Boys Records under Puff Daddy. He would release his first solo LP, Harlem World, and be a major player in hip-hop throughout the 90s. After bouncing back and forth between being a priest and Murder Ma$e, the "Feel So Good" spitta is back in hip-hop and ready to drop his fourth album.

Happy Birthday, Ma$e!
