Ma$e Says New Album Will Feature Kanye West, Rick Ross, Puff Daddy

It's been 17 years since Ma$e's breakout solo album Harlem World, and now he says he's finally got the right followup for it.

In a recent interview he said his next single, 'Billboard,' will have features from Kanye West and Rick Ross - 'we got something really serious coming,' he said.

He also revealed that the album, which is titled Now We Even, is set to come out the first week of October and will also feature guest spots from his mentor Puff Daddy, Yayo and Dipset.

'This would be what I would have put out after Harlem World,' Ma$e says. He elaborated, saying the rest of his albums weren't what he would have liked to do, but what he could do given the restrictions on his career at the time.

Ma$e dropped 'Nothing,' featuring Eric Bellinger on the hook, in May. On that track, Ma$e revealed, 'We just finished shooting a video in L.A. in the desert. It's going to be really sexy.'

The rapper's last album, Welcome Back, celebrates its decade birthday this year, having hit shelves in 2004.
