"Masta I.C." was the second single released fro Mic Geronimo's debut album, The Natural.

The song was produced and co-written by Diggin' in the Crates member Buckwild, with Royal Flush contributing guest vocals and X-Ecutioners member Roc Raida providing scratches for the song. Like his previous single, "Masta I.C." was not a commercial success, instead becoming more of an underground classic. It peaked at 30 on the Billboard's Hot Rap Singles. The official remix was produced by DJ Irv and featured verses from Royal Flush and the Lost Boyz, it was the last track on The Natural.

The B-Side of the single was "Time to Build", which featured guest appearances by then unknown DMX, Jay-Z and Ja Rule, each of whom would become multi-platinum superstars shortly after.
