" In 1999 Masai Bey made his lyrical production and scratching debut simultaneously on a 12inch alongside Cage and Space titled "Paranoid Android", released in England on DC Records. This would be the beginning of The Weathermen, which was at the time a production duo consisting of Masai and Cage.
By the end of that same year Masai contributed co-production (Weathermen) for a Cage single on Bobbito's Fondle 'em label and lyrics, including the hook, on a Smut Peddlers song titled "For The Record" on Rawkus Records.

In 2000 Masai was advised by Cage to give El -P (Company Flow) a call about possibly recording some material. After months of contemplating and meditating Masai decided to give El-P a call, which led to Masai Bey's contribution to the Weathermen's debut song "Same As It Never Was" (2001) and his solo debut song "Paper Mache" (2001) on "Definitive Jux presents II".
In 2002, Definitive Jux rereleased "Paper Mache" as a single with two additional songs titled "Nonstop", produced by Masai Bey and "The Beginning" produced by El-P featuring BMS and Vast Aire (Cannibal Ox). During this period, Masai spent his days writing, creating music and recording in a studio owned by BMS.
In 2003, Masai Bey and BMS released an "out-of-the-trunk" split 12 inch single "Innersection (BMS)/Rapavenge(Masai Bey)".
By August 2004, Masai had finished his limited "Masai Bey's Goldmind" released independently. This CD was greeted with a very positive response causing anticipation for a full length album with "real" distribution. This goal was met with the completion of Masai's debut 14 song full length album "Natural Magic Music" on Raptivism Records. With over 20 years of writing rhymes on his belt and over 15 years of mic experience, Masai Bey has performed on many stages from NY to NJ, Penn., Ct., RI, DC, and has shared stages with Company Flow, Cannibal Ox, Cage, El Da Sensai, Immortal Technique, Kice, Mr. Lif, C-Rayz, L.I.F.E. LONG, Lo Deck, Kool Kim (UMC"S), The Presence, Bully Mouth, Diamond J (EPMD), Jedi Mind Tricks and many more."
