Mase's second album and temporary exit: Harlem gloss, Blackstreet and Total features, then a turn toward ministry after the rollout.

Double Up arrived as Ma$e’s encore after Harlem World’s platinum run—still melodic, still Bad Boy polished, with Stay Out of My Way featuring Total and Get Ready with Blackstreet. Puff’s intro stamps the label branding on day one.

The album went Gold and hit the Top 15, then Ma$e’s public turn toward Christianity and stepping back from secular rap defined the era more than any deep cut. Welcome Back would reopen the secular lane years later.
