AB the Light transforms the NYP Talk Show into a musical journey as he previews his second album "More Life," revealing the genius behind his introspective lyrics and soulful beats. From the small city of Peoria, Illinois—birthplace of Richard Pryor—AB brings a refreshing authenticity to conscious hip-hop that resonates deeply with listeners searching for substance.
The conversation weaves through AB's personal evolution after joining the Moorish Science Temple of America in 2020, where he found a framework for self-knowledge that transformed both his life and artistic expression. Unlike many who misinterpret the movement as a "sovereign citizen" approach, AB emphasizes the principles of love, truth, peace, freedom, and justice that guide his path and infuse his music with purpose.
As the hosts play tracks like "The Highs," "The Fight," and "Insane in the Membrane," listeners witness AB's remarkable versatility—shifting from peaceful introspection to fiery conviction with seamless precision. The production by his longtime friend Devo Got Flames provides the perfect foundation for AB's storytelling, creating moments that draw comparisons to artists like Common, J Cole, and Nipsey Hussle while maintaining his distinctive voice.
The most powerful moments come when AB shares the stories behind his songs, including "True Story Parts 1 & 2," which chronicles his real experiences within the Moorish movement, and "Advice," a heartfelt message to his daughter. These glimpses into his life reveal an artist committed to authenticity, using his past struggles—including being bullied as a child—as fuel for personal growth rather than reasons for defeat.
Check out "More Life" on all major streaming platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube. This is hip-hop that challenges you to think while nodding your head—

Yeah, I should talk about your marriage journey and
then you know, just to reiteratefor the people, man, how long
you've been involved in themovement for man, uh, since, uh,
about 2020 is when, um, youknow, I found self and uh, you
know, made some correction anduh, and then I joined the temple
(05:24):
here in peoria.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
So, yeah, that's about five years, yeah what was
like pivotal point, that to makeyou want to join, like what
like, after finding yourselfwhat made you, you know, want to
get involved with the morrismovement.
More science temple america,that's just right, correct.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Right, right, right.
Well, what did it was realizingthat you know it's the truth,
you know, and you know theprophet.
You know he laid out, you knowa divine thing for us there's a
(06:11):
way to um actually free yourself.
You know, in the mind, you knowum as well as you know,
politically, um.
So that's when I'm like, okay,uh, this is the way to go,
because I don't see no um.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I don't see fault, you know?
Yeah, definitely Like.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
it's like a salvation for self right, basically right
and that's, and that's not aknock uh to other.
You know, movements forliberation for our people, you
know, um, yeah, we're all, we'reall beautiful, you know.
So, it's all beautifulmovements, man, it's just, you
know uh, more science justbasically took over me you know,
(06:50):
definitely so, what you learned.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
You learned about this, um, not only the spiritual
aspect of you know, I self lordand master islam.
You also did you get involvedin the civics aspect of it as
well uh, yeah, that's, that's.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Uh, that was very intriguing, you know.
So, um, it really did help me.
Um, want to learn more aboutthe law.
Definitely, um, because youknow that, you know how it goes.
Uh, some people, uh, you knowthere's a there's a line drawn
between sovereign citizen andactual law.
(07:26):
That is real.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Talk about it, talk about it.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
So so that's what I really wanted to dive into, to
distinguish the two, you know soyeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
And I'm still learning, you know, I'm still.
It's never, it never ends, man.
You learn every day, man, yeah,yeah, it's a journey, as they
say, it's a journey that youtake, you know.
You learn as you go, yeah,especially from elders, but I do
, you know, see a lot of Moorsout there, you know, and no
disrespect to them, but thereare those that are Temple Moors
(07:58):
that follow what Noble DrewRiley laid out for them.
As far as principles,principles, you know, walking
upright, helping humanity byhelping yourself.
Yeah, and you know, you knowlove, justice, true freedom,
equality I don't know if I'msaying it correctly, but those
principles, right there, and youhave those that are taking the,
the civic, sovereign, cities,sovereign yeah citizen route
(08:22):
where, yeah, where they are justdoing some you know heinous
things is, you know, takingpeople out of their homes and,
as you know, bobby hemmett saidpaper terrorism and all that
yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah, youknow, so you know getting mixed
in getting mixed getting jammedup out there yeah yeah, but I
mean, if you did get mixed in itlike innocently, you could get
(08:45):
yourself out of it.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
You know what I'm saying.
Yeah, it's just you know like,you know the one of the five
most highest principles.
You know we live by love, truth, peace, freedom and justice.
And if you was truthfully, youknow doing what you were doing
in the, you know within yourheart, you know, yeah, it's led
wrong.
You know you can get yourselfout of it you know, definitely.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
I respect that very much, man, and that's that's
dope man.
So it's five years for youbeing in the movement.

Okay, never, I never joined,but I just went to the classes,
go listen, you know, sit down,listen, and it was very
insightful and very powerfulinformation you know learning
about.
You know your history, yeah,and you know, because you know
(10:31):
some people assume believe ourgenesis began with slavery and
it stopped there.
I'm like no, it goes furtherthan that, it goes much more
deeper than that oh yeah oh, youand you learn about.
You know key figures that's notthe historical figures that we
always oh, you and you learnabout.
You know key figures that thenot the historical figures that
we always learn about and youknow through black history and

Speaker 3 (37:07):
I didn't, you know like I was listening.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
But you know, like you know, I'm driving and you

So I'm like, okay, son got someflow, like he can flow, he can
rap, he can rap, he can rap.
But this right here tells methat you've been listening to
music for a long time.
Right, that's the fact.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo, that isthe vibe I was thinking about.
(37:34):
He's coming.
It seems like more of that, notto put you in this category,
but he reminds me of like a JCole, like a De La Soul, like
what's the other?
Yeah, de La Soul, I love De LaSoul.
(37:55):
Yeah, yeah, that's what hereminds me of.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
I got a Nipsey vibe from him bro.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
I don't know why, bro ?
Speaker 2 (38:06):
it's crazy.
I don't know why, but man,after he died, bro so many
people said that started to saythat and I'm like what?
I ain't never heard that in mylife.
But yeah, that's dope.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
It's the frequency, what he's rapping.
I feel, I feel like it's a lotof introspective reflective.
What you see in painting thepicture, you feeling the energy
at that moment, you just, oh manyo, and it makes you think like
damn, like, so what are wedoing as a people?
Speaker 4 (38:37):
it makes you feel like, wow, what are we doing?
We need to like change this upor something.
Definitely let's go into it.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
True Story, part 1.
And when I was introduced tothe light knowledge of self, I
promised myself that I wouldmove right, studying morals
Falsehood gotta kill it on sight.
Then I found out this is island.
When I got together with thepeople, our mission was getting
to the sheeple.
They still play in the colorgame.
That road ain't going nowhere.
We gotta swerve to another lane.
Gotta unlearn everything.
Now we study real law.
That's been around for a reallong time but we ain't know why
(39:24):
that's why I got back what'smine and I wear it every day.
360 degrees of knowledge.
Tasks are swinging every way.
Anywho, let me turn the pageone from group study to having
meetings every other day, votedon the grand sheet first time
that I ever had had trust in mydecision.
Little time go by, here comedivision man 180, stepped away
from law, started pushingreligion, and that came with a
(39:46):
lot of friction.
Big reason why we are in aposition that we in now Got us
behind.
But let me rewind, got my minda little off track.
Gotta go a couple pages back.
Gotta tell you about theprotests.
Grandshie was supposed to speak.
Instead he went to the post andleave, and I ain't really go
for that, but it seemed that'slike what he chose for me.
Eddie Russell, my own guy onthe mic, bro, started
(40:07):
interrupting the speech.
What mess did I get into?
Now Somehow got to control thepeace.
Then I spoke to a thousandpeople Spreading my love and
truth and realized I wasn'tready for the movement.
That's when he switched up onthe blueprint and told switched
up on the blueprint and told mea pro, some blue shit.
He claimed to be a prophet fromthe bible, king of kings, to be
exact.
That's why I took a step backbro, falling in his footsteps,
(40:27):
and that's the reason why webecame less attached.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
You don't stand on it .
Speaker 2 (40:30):
It ain't a fact.
And why the fuck would you tellme that?
What you want out of us, youalready got love, you got trust.
One reason why shit went todust some people wanted personal
gain had had to cut him offwasn't my aim.
Anyway, you can continue on.
Let me know if you feel my pain.
About a week prior to themadness me and bro yeah, we got
(40:53):
a crib right there on Virginia,had to fix it up a bit so we
could live.
One day.
Bro went to the spot, caughtthe mainest man breaking in,
talking about we broke the lease.
Well, bro, you just broke thelatch.
Crazy that the same woman didthat.
It's the one who called thepolice.
Bro called everybody in thetemple and I sped there right
away.
We all got there and we postedup Halle-D.
When the PBD rolled up, man,they showed the whole.

Okay.
But, it deals with my journeyas a part of the more science
temple.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
Right, alright, let's go.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
We need a remix to that.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
I had to put squad cars on the ramp, people with
their cameras out, hoping theydon't pull no bangers out, told
us that we had to leave but bearrested Under threat, duress
and coercion.
We couldn't contest it.
So we went to leave, but theywouldn't let us.
Then I went live on the book Atthis point of work but most of
the look.
A brother went to get his phoneout.
The whip Police tried to make amove, didn, we'll be right back
(42:32):
.
Got slammed on the ground witha knee on my back.
Then I heard a sound on mybrother's going wild.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
Yes, that's dope, bro .
That was deep man, appreciateit, man, appreciate it.
Now've been, you gotta go.
I'm not gonna lie to you, brogotta get this shit right the
(43:32):
true story and that is my supersuit.
Speaker 2 (43:34):
I tried to run but I fell anyway.
That does not matter.
Right now I'm in this cage andI'm boiling with rage, so much
on my mind and I got no pen andpage.
Let me meditate and read awayAll the hate they brought today.

Part of self to me, skedaddle,but I stay true to my brothers

The people gotta uplift.
Not a struggle.
That's equal.
We almost there.
(51:49):
Gotta try harder.
If we all unite, we need not amartyr.
We all do the sand and theyain't even in the sand, probably
couldn't even make their way tothe beach.
That's probably why they ridealong as they leech.
It's crazy, dog, when you're inthe wrong, there's always going
to be a hater in reach.
And when the tables turn andthey not around, they looking
down on you.
When you teach and when youmake a play in the operation,
they downplay it.
(52:09):
Then they try to preach.
Work on yourself, maintainingyour health.
Gotta clean it up.
I'm good on the meals like DaveChappelle.
All we need land so I can makea well, need clean water and a
long road.
But when they try to come andtake my heavy, i'ma be ready and
I'ma give them hell.
Let the chopper swing, like mypast got a lot of brain bars hot
(52:29):

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah, I should talk about your marriage journey and
then you know, just to reiteratefor the people, man, how long
you've been involved in themovement for man, uh, since, uh,
about 2020 is when, um, youknow, I found self and uh, you
know, made some correction anduh, and then I joined the temple
(05:24):
here in peoria.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
So, yeah, that's about five years, yeah what was
like pivotal point, that to makeyou want to join, like what
like, after finding yourselfwhat made you, you know, want to
get involved with the morrismovement.
More science temple america,that's just right, correct.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Right, right, right.
Well, what did it was realizingthat you know it's the truth,
you know, and you know theprophet.
You know he laid out, you knowa divine thing for us there's a
(06:11):
way to um actually free yourself.
You know, in the mind, you knowum as well as you know,
politically, um.
So that's when I'm like, okay,uh, this is the way to go,
because I don't see no um.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I don't see fault, you know?
Yeah, definitely Like.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
it's like a salvation for self right, basically right
and that's, and that's not aknock uh to other.
You know, movements forliberation for our people, you
know, um, yeah, we're all, we'reall beautiful, you know.
So, it's all beautifulmovements, man, it's just, you
know uh, more science justbasically took over me you know,
(06:50):
definitely so, what you learned.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
You learned about this, um, not only the spiritual
aspect of you know, I self lordand master islam.
You also did you get involvedin the civics aspect of it as
well uh, yeah, that's, that's.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Uh, that was very intriguing, you know.
So, um, it really did help me.
Um, want to learn more aboutthe law.
Definitely, um, because youknow that, you know how it goes.
Uh, some people, uh, you knowthere's a there's a line drawn
between sovereign citizen andactual law.
(07:26):
That is real.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Talk about it, talk about it.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
So so that's what I really wanted to dive into, to
distinguish the two, you know soyeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
And I'm still learning, you know, I'm still.
It's never, it never ends, man.
You learn every day, man, yeah,yeah, it's a journey, as they
say, it's a journey that youtake, you know.
You learn as you go, yeah,especially from elders, but I do
, you know, see a lot of Moorsout there, you know, and no
disrespect to them, but thereare those that are Temple Moors
(07:58):
that follow what Noble DrewRiley laid out for them.
As far as principles,principles, you know, walking
upright, helping humanity byhelping yourself.
Yeah, and you know, you knowlove, justice, true freedom,
equality I don't know if I'msaying it correctly, but those
principles, right there, and youhave those that are taking the,
the civic, sovereign, cities,sovereign yeah citizen route
(08:22):
where, yeah, where they are justdoing some you know heinous
things is, you know, takingpeople out of their homes and,
as you know, bobby hemmett saidpaper terrorism and all that
yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah, youknow, so you know getting mixed
in getting mixed getting jammedup out there yeah yeah, but I
mean, if you did get mixed in itlike innocently, you could get
(08:45):
yourself out of it.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
You know what I'm saying.
Yeah, it's just you know like,you know the one of the five
most highest principles.
You know we live by love, truth, peace, freedom and justice.
And if you was truthfully, youknow doing what you were doing
in the, you know within yourheart, you know, yeah, it's led
wrong.
You know you can get yourselfout of it you know, definitely.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
I respect that very much, man, and that's that's
dope man.
So it's five years for youbeing in the movement.
What, what books?
What got you involved like?
What books have you touchedalong the way?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
yeah um um.
You know a couple of theclassics.
You know the ja rogers um.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Nature knows no color line that's a big book right
there.
That book right there ispowerful, bro.
What else?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
um.
Another one is.
You know, another classic um,they came before columbus I
haven't been certain yes, sir uhwhat?
Ivan Van Sertema?
Yes, sir, what else man?
I've lost a lost count.
I've skimmed through so many,read so much literature, man.
(09:54):
But yeah, Ivan Van Sertema andJA Rogers, Dr Kaba, he has great
work.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Dr, Kaba Thank you're watching this yeah, oh, much
love, much love.
Who else like?
When I started, you know, Iattended a few class classes in
the more science temple out inbrooklyn.
Okay, never, I never joined,but I just went to the classes,
go listen, you know, sit down,listen, and it was very
insightful and very powerfulinformation you know learning
about.
You know your history, yeah,and you know, because you know
(10:31):
some people assume believe ourgenesis began with slavery and
it stopped there.
I'm like no, it goes furtherthan that, it goes much more
deeper than that oh yeah oh, youand you learn about.
You know key figures that's notthe historical figures that we
always oh, you and you learnabout.
You know key figures that thenot the historical figures that
we always learn about and youknow through black history and
peace to them.
You know, peace be upon them.
But you learn more about.
(10:51):
You know, noble dralee.
Then you learn about the um,the empires back then, yeah, and
going, and you know it takesyou, man, it goes so so far back
, knowing that, how much we haveinfluence in the world, yeah,
and trying to write us out ofhistory.
We just had we just spoke aboutthat on the live that we call
(11:12):
paper genocide, like trying toerase your whole existence oh
yeah, oh yeah yeah, yeah it's,it's over 400 tribes yeah man
went unrecognized.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
You know what I'm saying Most definitely so.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
before you got involved with the more science
movement, what were you doing inyour prior life?
If you're comfortable withspeaking about that, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
So before then, man, I was just beginning to find my,
uh, find my purpose, you know.
But you know I had my hobbies,that I you know, um, and my
passions and my you know dreamsthat I was, you know, holding on
to.
I was, uh, uh, writing andrecording music.

Right, that's the fact.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo, that isthe vibe I was thinking about.

Yeah, de La Soul, I love De LaSoul.

I don't know why, but man,after he died, bro so many
people said that started to saythat and I'm like what?
I ain't never heard that in mylife.
But yeah, that's dope.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
It's the frequency, what he's rapping.
I feel, I feel like it's a lotof introspective reflective.
What you see in painting thepicture, you feeling the energy
at that moment, you just, oh manyo, and it makes you think like
damn, like, so what are wedoing as a people?
Speaker 4 (38:37):
it makes you feel like, wow, what are we doing?
We need to like change this upor something.
Definitely let's go into it.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
True Story, part 1.
And when I was introduced tothe light knowledge of self, I
promised myself that I wouldmove right, studying morals
Falsehood gotta kill it on sight.
Then I found out this is island.
When I got together with thepeople, our mission was getting
to the sheeple.
They still play in the colorgame.
That road ain't going nowhere.
We gotta swerve to another lane.
Gotta unlearn everything.
Now we study real law.
That's been around for a reallong time but we ain't know why
(39:24):
that's why I got back what'smine and I wear it every day.
360 degrees of knowledge.
Tasks are swinging every way.
Anywho, let me turn the pageone from group study to having
meetings every other day, votedon the grand sheet first time
that I ever had had trust in mydecision.
Little time go by, here comedivision man 180, stepped away
from law, started pushingreligion, and that came with a
(39:46):
lot of friction.
Big reason why we are in aposition that we in now Got us
behind.
But let me rewind, got my minda little off track.
Gotta go a couple pages back.
Gotta tell you about theprotests.
Grandshie was supposed to speak.
Instead he went to the post andleave, and I ain't really go
for that, but it seemed that'slike what he chose for me.
Eddie Russell, my own guy onthe mic, bro, started
(40:07):
interrupting the speech.
What mess did I get into?
Now Somehow got to control thepeace.
Then I spoke to a thousandpeople Spreading my love and
truth and realized I wasn'tready for the movement.
That's when he switched up onthe blueprint and told switched
up on the blueprint and told mea pro, some blue shit.
He claimed to be a prophet fromthe bible, king of kings, to be
exact.
That's why I took a step backbro, falling in his footsteps,
(40:27):
and that's the reason why webecame less attached.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
You don't stand on it .
Speaker 2 (40:30):
It ain't a fact.
And why the fuck would you tellme that?
What you want out of us, youalready got love, you got trust.
One reason why shit went todust some people wanted personal
gain had had to cut him offwasn't my aim.
Anyway, you can continue on.
Let me know if you feel my pain.
About a week prior to themadness me and bro yeah, we got
(40:53):
a crib right there on Virginia,had to fix it up a bit so we
could live.
One day.
Bro went to the spot, caughtthe mainest man breaking in,
talking about we broke the lease.
Well, bro, you just broke thelatch.
Crazy that the same woman didthat.
It's the one who called thepolice.
Bro called everybody in thetemple and I sped there right

temple.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
Right, alright, let's go.
Speaker 1 (41:50):

Speaker 2 (41:51):
I had to put squad cars on the ramp, people with
their cameras out, hoping theydon't pull no bangers out, told
us that we had to leave but bearrested Under threat, duress
and coercion.
We couldn't contest it.
So we went to leave, but theywouldn't let us.
Then I went live on the book Atthis point of work but most of
the look.
A brother went to get his phoneout.
The whip Police tried to make amove, didn, we'll be right back
(42:32):

Speaker 2 (43:34):
I tried to run but I fell anyway.
That does not matter.
Right now I'm in this cage andI'm boiling with rage, so much
on my mind and I got no pen andpage.
Let me meditate and read awayAll the hate they brought today.

Part of self to me, skedaddle,but I stay true to my brothers

A cop talking out his ass,trying to call me a black stone.
The moment I lost my cool,yelling and banging on the door.
