"24 Hrs. to Live" is a song performed by American rapper Mase featuring colleagues The Lox, Black Rob and DMX, taken from the former's debut album, Harlem World (1997). It was released to radio airwaves on February 20, 1998 as an album cut and managed to chart solely on urban radio airplay. The same year, talks of an all-female version of the song featuring Queen Pen, Lil' Kim, Foxy Brown and Missy Elliott were discussed;^[1] however, plans for the project fell through, resulting in a cancellation.^[2] Mase later clarified in an interview that the female version was shelved due to his frustration with Foxy Brown not getting along with Lil' Kim or Queen Pen, also adding that he had "to move on with [his] life."^[3]

Music video

Despite the lack of an official single release, the song acquired enough buzz for Mase to materialize its music video. The video was directed by Nick Quested and premiered on BET in mid-May 1998.^[4]
