On Friday, during an interview with “The Prince of New York” DJ Self of Power 105.1, former Bad Boy artist Mase aired a remix to Drake’s ‘Best I Ever Had’.  This is his first release since 2005.  Mase also said that the inspiration behind his comeback after such a long time, was Michael Jackson’s death.

“Mike passed away and it just lit the fire in me — it made me go in the studio and do something. I’m excited,” the Harlem-born rapper said. “I asked my nephew who is the hottest thing out there and he said, Drake!” When I listened to his music I said, “I’m going to jump on this joint.”
