Sean Combs's protégé Mase, a rapper from Atlanta, Georgia, first rose to fame in the late 1990s with his flamboyant flow and Puffy-produced hits. "Welcome Back" arrived in 2005, marking Mase's return to music after a period of semi-retirement and a religious conversion that saw him embrace a more G-rated persona.
