Mase Gives Details on His 'Now We Even' Album

Mase is back to the old Mase now; please don't attach 'Pastor' to his name no more. In his recent interview with Atlanta's 107.9, he spoke on his upcoming album, Now We Even.





"We got an album in the works. It should be out the first week in October. Gonna have 'Ye on it, Ross, Puff, Dipset... it's going to be really special."









During the course of the interview, he also spoke on the next single off the album, Billboard, which would feature Rick Ross and Kanye West. Yea, I definitely would be looking forward to hearing that. I think Mase is slowly getting his groove back. Currently, his Nothing single (feat. Eric Bellinger) is the only official song released off the album. You can listen to that below.

Mase Names His Top 5 Dead Or Alive

Ma$e is preparing to release his 4th album (We Even), and has been doing a lot of interviews lately. In a recent sit-down with XXL, he spoke on the rappers on his Mount Rushmore...His top 5 dead or alive. Check out his list below. 




“One, Biggie. Two, N.W.A. Three, Nas…Nas is one of the illest. Four [is Lil Wayne]…I like No Ceilings Weezy…I like Weezy when he’s high. Five it's a tie between…Nah, it’s not a tie…I’ma go with Hov. I wouldn’t say Em because the way Eminem rap…there were all types of niggas who rapped like that who couldn’t get on the radio….same rapid flow never got put in that light." 

Nice list, but I wouldn't have pegged Mase as one to be an NWA fan. Anyway, he has been around long enough to know what he is talking about. His upcoming album, Now We Even, doesn't have a release date yet, but Mase has let his fans know that it is coming pretty soon. 

New Music: Nothing (Mase feat. Eric Bellinger)

Yup! Mase got a new song, and it is titled Nothing. The song is the latest single from his upcoming album, Now We Even. I particularly like this song, cos it shows Mase is slowly going back to the old Mase. When I say the old Mase, I don't necessarily mean a dope Mase or a 90s Mase or whatever; I just mean, he is going back to being himself, and not Pastor Mase. He talks about regular everyday stuff like Sex on this song, so you know this ain't no preacher preaching. It will take time, and a couple more songs like this for him to just be himself again, and not be put in a box about what he can or can't rap about. By the way, the song features Eric Bellinger, and dude sure can SING!

Mase Speaks On Upcoming Album- Now We Even

Mase has been on and off the hip hop scene since he retired in 1999. He came back in 2004 still under Diddy, then he was with  50 Cent around 2005, then he disappeared again, and then came back around 2009, and disappeared again. But the last 2 years, it seems like he is really here to stay now. My problem with Mase is that he can't deliver at his full potential unless he removes the barrier of being called a gospel rapper. He needs to drop the 'pastor mase' title, and just rap about life. He can still preach without being to preachy...you get what I mean? He can deliver a positive message without coming off as someone that is 'holier than thou.' I am a Mase fan, and would love to here the old Mase flow, but with some positive message.

Check out what he has to say about his upcoming album (Now We Even) with a series of tweets-
