One third of the hip hop group De La Soul, American rapper, producer, and DJ Vincent Lamont Mason Jr. was born on March 24, 1970. Mason is also known by the names Maseo, Plug Three, and P.A. Pasemaster Mase.
Mason’s primary function in De La Soul is as a DJ, and he describes himself as “a b-boy to my heart,” gaining inspiration from his own life experiences and current events on a worldwide scale.
Mason has, however, also contributed vocals to songs like “Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey)” from De La Soul Is Dead and for De La Soul’s cameo on the Jungle Brothers track “Doin’ Our Own Dang.” Mason also recorded the opening chuckle for De La Soul and Gorillaz’s joint project.
