- RELEASE NOTES -

For Internal Distribution Only

After a handful of guest appearances on several tracks (most
notably on The Notorious Bigs' now classic, "Mo' Money, Mo'
Problems"), Mase takes center stage with his explosive
debut, Harlem World. Not only does Mase possess one of the
most infectious, yet, nonchalant voices in modern hip-hop,
he is also a confident and skilled MC with an almost jazzy
flow. Along with producer / mentor, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Mase
has created an album that is a tribute to some of the finest
musical moments from the 80's (New Edition "Jealous Girl,"
Teena Marie "Square Biz" and Culture Club "Do You Really
Want To Hurt Me"), while offering some memorable new cuts
that are destined to dominate radio and become classic.
Tracks like "Will They Die 4 You?", "Love You So," "What You
Want." "Cheat On You" and "24 Hrs." are the standout cuts.
And with special guest appearances from Hip-Hop / R&B
"heavyweights", labelmates Total, 112 and Puff Daddy, Lil'
Kim, Jay-Z, Lil' Cease, The Lox, Busta Rhymes, Billy
Lawrence and Monifah, Harlem World shines as a true
soundtrack to ghetto livin' - tough, raw and uncompromising
- yet filled with passion and moments of clarity and
prophetic vision. Mase also injects the album with some
hysterical interludes ("White Girl" and "Phone
Conversation") and closes it on a light note with Biz Markie
-esque ballad, :Jealous Guy: (modeled after New Edition's
"Jealous Girl") where he, um, sings?!!

With more than 6000 releases a year, RNS is by far the
largest, longest-standing, and most successful group on the
MP3 scene.  Boasting the top rippers, sites, and traders
to be found anywhere, RNS is untouched in terms of both
quality and quantity of releases.  Year in and year out,
the biggest releases in the music world are released first
and only by RNS.  RNS is interested in more than just the big
hits, however; we pride ourselves in remaining on the cutting
edge of music from every genre, whether it be hip-hop, R+B,
house, punk, jazz, rock, or classical.
