Puff Daddy  featured Mase on "Mo' Money, Mo' Problems" from The Notorious B.I.G.'s double-disc album Life After Death as well as on his own album, No Way Out.

Mase released his first solo LP, Harlem World, in 1997, which featured "Feel So Good", "Lookin' At Me" and "What You Want". His next project, Double Up, was released in 1999. In 1999, Mase announced his retirement from music to pursue "a calling from God."

In 2004, Mase returned to the music industry with his third album, Welcome Back, as well as appearing on Nelly's "In My Life" and Fat Joe's "Lean Back". The album featured the lead single "Welcome Back".

In 2010, Diddy offered Mase a one year release from Bad Boy Records to settle their differences, and Mase decided to retire from rap for good although he re-signed to Bad Boy after his year break was done.
