Mason Betha is clearly the one who hit the fucking lottery, as he signed up with Puff Daddy's Bad Boy Records imprint, dropping the 'Murda' moniker in favor of calling himself Ma$e, bringing attention to the materialism that the man exemplified under the wing of money man Puffy Combs. Oddly, every member of the group was able to find fame in the hip hop game after the crew disbanded, save for Bloodshed, who passed away in a car accident shortly after the breakup.
('Outlander!') He shared mic duties with the late Big L, Herb McGruff, Cam'Ron (known back then as Killa Cam), and Cam's late cousin Bloodshed. However, prior to being the sidekick to the face of the Shiny Suit Era, Murda Mase was one of five rappers in the little-known-outside-of-Blogland crew known as Children Of The Corn, which was so obviously not named after the movie based on the Stephen King short story.
Mason Betha grew up in Harlem, which should become obvious when you read the title of his debut album, Harlem World.
Stay with me here I promise I have a point. I fear I may have lost you two in putting that picture up.
