WELL, THAT WAS SHORT LIVED 50!
Former Bad Boy recording artist Ma$e AKA Mason Betha is close to signing a new record deal with Steve Rifkind's powerhouse SRC Records label. It had been previously reported that Ma$e was signing with 50 Cent's G-Unit Records and even appeared on several G-Unit tracks including work on the "Get Rich or Die Tryin" soundtrack. It now appears that deal is off the table and Mase is currently in negotiations with Rifkind to finalize a contract.
Rifkind told XXL magazine, "We are closing the Ma$e deal. His album is crazy. We are doing a production and distribution deal with him. We don't have a date for the album yet, but it will be out by the end of the year. It's all brand new material."
The SRC roster currently includes Akon, Wu-Tang Clan, Pharoahe Monch and David Banner.
Ma$e released two albums: 1997's quadruple-platinum Harlem World, and 1999's certified-gold Double Up prior to his retirement. The rapper released his gold-certified comeback album, Welcome Back, in 2004.
WHAT HAPPEN TO THE WHOLE MA$E G-UNIT THING! WOW THAT WAS SHORT LIVED! 50 IS TRULY CLEARING HOUSE AND IS NOT PLAYING! IF YOU CAUGHT 106 AND WACK ON FRIDAY YOUNG BUCK WAS RETRACTING ALOT OF HIS STATEMENTS! HE KNOW HE CAN'T DO NOTHING WITH OUT 50 THEN AGAIN HIS ALBUM HAS TANKED CURRENTLY ANYWAYS! 50 IS THINKING BOUT 50 NOW!
