Books Written by Rapper Mase
Before becoming a multi-platinum rapper known for his smooth delivery and hit records like “Feel So Good” and “What You Want,” Mase (born Mason Betha) was already a man of many layers. Known first as a Bad Boy Records star alongside The Notorious B.I.G. and Puff Daddy, Mase shocked the world when he stepped away from music at the height of his fame to pursue his faith. His journey from Harlem streets to Rap/Hip-Hop stardom and eventually to the pulpit is one of transformation and redemption, a story he later captured in his writing. How many books has Mase written? 1. (so far at the time of this post). Here’s a look at the books written by Mase:
1. Revelations: There’s a Light After the Lime (2000)
Published shortly after Mase’s unexpected retirement from Rap/Hip-Hop in 1999, Revelations: There’s a Light After the Lime offers an intimate look into his decision to leave the music industry and dedicate his life to Christianity. Co-written with Karen Hunter, Mase released the book under his name Pason Mason Betha. In this deeply personal book, Mase explains how fame and fortune left him spiritually empty and how finding faith gave him renewed purpose. The book reads as both a memoir and a motivational guide for readers searching for meaning beyond material success.
What’s Inside Mase’s Revelations: There’s a Light After the Lime book?:
• Mase’s rise in the Rap/Hip-Hop industry and sudden departure
• Reflections on fame, wealth, and temptation
• His journey toward spiritual awakening
• Lessons on faith, self-discovery, and purpose
• Messages of redemption and hope for those seeking a new path
While Mase is best remembered for his Rap/Hip-Hop golden-era hits and smooth Harlem flow, his books reveal another side of his artistry, one rooted in introspection and spiritual enlightenment. Through his writing, Mase aimed to inspire readers to seek purpose, peace, and faith, just as he did after walking away from fame. His transition from rapper to author and pastor shows that growth and reinvention are possible at any stage of life. Mase’s literary contributions may be few, but they carry a powerful message: true success isn’t measured by charts or awards, but by the impact you make on others and your connection to something greater.
