Album Review- AYeBee The Light - Moor Life produced by Devo Got Flame
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—

Speaker 1:So that's, that's peace right there and I know we had you in the show. I believe last year we had you on here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I should talk about your marriage journey and then you know, just to reiterate for the people, man, how long you've been involved in the movement for man, uh, since, uh, about 2020 is when, um, you know, I found self and uh, you know, made some correction and uh, and then I joined the temple here in peoria.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, that's about five years, yeah what was like pivotal point, that to make you want to join, like what like, after finding yourself what made you, you know, want to get involved with the morris movement. More science temple america, that's just right, correct.
Speaker 2:Right, right, right. Well, what did it was realizing that you know it's the truth, you know, and you know the prophet. You know he laid out, you know a divine thing for us there's a way to um actually free yourself. You know, in the mind, you know um 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:I don't see fault, you know? Yeah, definitely Like.
Speaker 2:it's like a salvation for self right, basically right and that's, and that's not a knock uh to other. You know, movements for liberation for our people, you know, um, yeah, we're all, we're all beautiful, you know. So, it's all beautiful movements, man, it's just, you know uh, more science just basically took over me you know, definitely so, what you learned.
Speaker 1:You learned about this, um, not only the spiritual aspect of you know, I self lord and master islam. You also did you get involved in the civics aspect of it as well uh, yeah, that's, that's.
Speaker 2:Uh, that was very intriguing, you know. So, um, it really did help me. Um, want to learn more about the law. Definitely, um, because you know that, you know how it goes. Uh, some people, uh, you know there's a there's a line drawn between sovereign citizen and actual law. That is real. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:Talk about it, talk about it.
Speaker 2:So so that's what I really wanted to dive into, to distinguish the two, you know so yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: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 you take, you know. You learn as you go, yeah, especially from elders, but I do, you know, see a lot of Moors out there, you know, and no disrespect to them, but there are those that are Temple Moors that follow what Noble Drew Riley laid out for them. As far as principles, principles, you know, walking upright, helping humanity by helping yourself.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you know, you know love, justice, true freedom, equality I don't know if I'm saying it correctly, but those principles, right there, and you have those that are taking the, the civic, sovereign, cities, sovereign yeah citizen route where, yeah, where they are just doing some you know heinous things is, you know, taking people out of their homes and, as you know, bobby hemmett said paper terrorism and all that yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah, you know, so you know getting mixed in getting mixed getting jammed up out there yeah yeah, but I mean, if you did get mixed in it like innocently, you could get yourself out of it.
Speaker 2: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, you know doing what you were doing in the, you know within your heart, you know, yeah, it's led wrong. You know you can get yourself out of it you know, definitely.
Speaker 1:I respect that very much, man, and that's that's dope man. So it's five years for you being in the movement. What, what books? What got you involved like? What books have you touched along the way?
Speaker 2:yeah um um. You know a couple of the classics. You know the ja rogers um.
Speaker 1:Nature knows no color line that's a big book right there. That book right there is powerful, bro. What else?
Speaker 2:um. Another one is. You know, another classic um, they came before columbus I haven't been certain yes, sir uh what? 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. But yeah, Ivan Van Sertema and JA Rogers, Dr Kaba, he has great work.
Speaker 1:Dr, Kaba Thank you're watching this yeah, oh, much love, much love. Who else like? When I started, you know, I attended a few class classes in the more science temple out in brooklyn. 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 powerful information you know learning about. You know your history, yeah, and you know, because you know some people assume believe our genesis began with slavery and it stopped there. I'm like no, it goes further than that, it goes much more deeper than that oh yeah oh, you and you learn about.
Speaker 1:You know key figures that's not the historical figures that we always oh, you and you learn about. You know key figures that the not the historical figures that we always learn about and you know through black history and peace to them. You know, peace be upon them. But you learn more about. You know, noble dralee. Then you learn about the um, the empires back then, yeah, and going, and you know it takes you, man, it goes so so far back, knowing that, how much we have influence in the world, yeah, and trying to write us out of history.
Speaker 1:We just had we just spoke about that on the live that we call paper genocide, like trying to erase your whole existence oh yeah, oh yeah yeah, yeah it's, it's over 400 tribes yeah man went unrecognized.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying Most definitely so.
Speaker 1:before you got involved with the more science movement, what were you doing in your prior life? If you're comfortable with speaking about that, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: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 dreams that I was, you know, holding on to. I was, uh, uh, writing and recording music. Um, uh, you know, playing ball as much as I can uh, you know playing ball as much as I can I've seen a few videos of you shooting hoops man?
Speaker 1:oh yeah, yes sir, hey what's up?
Speaker 2:it's the phone, your phone? No, yes, it's my, my webcam man zooming in and out yeah you gotta check the settings, man.

You know, especially if you were on the other side of the table or in someone else's shoes, that you know, whoever you did wrong, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:Right Through every battle. Gotta stand tall. Know what I mean. Would you start before stealing? Would you die before kneeling? Would you go through hurt for healing? Could you start from the bottom and get to the ceiling? Can you use your mind to block out the feeling that you get when you down and low and dealing With life and winning they seem unappealing. You tired cause you ain't really living, but the fire in you got you willing To get on your shit, get up on the job To be a better dad and to be a better mom and to set you alarm to 5am sharp. Thank you, we'll be right back. Outro Music, all your rights and everything is fair by the days they gonna come along and the haters you had they gonna run along though your ancestors, right by your side, too near enough to hear them home to?

Speaker 4:I can't really describe it. I can't really describe it. Yo, yo, hold on. We heard that one. We heard that one. Hold on Hold on Hold, on Hold, on Hold on. First off, I didn't know you was that dope though.
Speaker 3:I didn't, you know like I was listening.
Speaker 4:But you know, like you know, I'm driving and you know, moving around, I'm, you know, doing this and doing that. So I'm like, okay, son got some flow, like he can flow, he can rap, he can rap, he can rap. But this right here tells me that you've been listening to music for a long time. Right, that's the fact. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo, that is the vibe I was thinking about. He's coming. It seems like more of that, not to put you in this category, but he reminds me of like a J Cole, like a De La Soul, like what's the other? Yeah, de La Soul, I love De La Soul. Yeah, yeah, that's what he reminds me of.
Speaker 1:I got a Nipsey vibe from him bro.
Speaker 3:I don't know why, bro?
Speaker 2:it's crazy. I don't know why, but man, after he died, bro so many people said that started to say that and I'm like what? I ain't never heard that in my life. But yeah, that's dope.
Speaker 1:It's the frequency, what he's rapping. I feel, I feel like it's a lot of introspective reflective. What you see in painting the picture, you feeling the energy at that moment, you just, oh man yo, and it makes you think like damn, like, so what are we doing as a people?
Speaker 4:it makes you feel like, wow, what are we doing? We need to like change this up or something. Definitely let's go into it.
Speaker 2:True Story, part 1. And when I was introduced to the light knowledge of self, I promised myself that I would move right, studying morals Falsehood gotta kill it on sight. Then I found out this is island. When I got together with the people, our mission was getting to the sheeple. They still play in the color game. 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 real long time but we ain't know why that's why I got back what's mine and I wear it every day.
Speaker 2:360 degrees of knowledge. Tasks are swinging every way. Anywho, let me turn the page one from group study to having meetings every other day, voted on the grand sheet first time that I ever had had trust in my decision. Little time go by, here come division man 180, stepped away from law, started pushing religion, and that came with a lot of friction. Big reason why we are in a position that we in now Got us behind. But let me rewind, got my mind a little off track. Gotta go a couple pages back. Gotta tell you about the protests.
Speaker 2:Grandshie was supposed to speak. Instead he went to the post and leave, and I ain't really go for that, but it seemed that's like what he chose for me. Eddie Russell, my own guy on the mic, bro, started interrupting the speech. What mess did I get into? Now Somehow got to control the peace. Then I spoke to a thousand people Spreading my love and truth and realized I wasn't ready for the movement. That's when he switched up on the blueprint and told switched up on the blueprint and told me a pro, some blue shit. He claimed to be a prophet from the bible, king of kings, to be exact. That's why I took a step back bro, falling in his footsteps, and that's the reason why we became less attached.
Speaker 3:You don't stand on it.
Speaker 2:It ain't a fact. And why the fuck would you tell me that? What you want out of us, you already got love, you got trust. One reason why shit went to dust some people wanted personal gain had had to cut him off wasn't my aim. Anyway, you can continue on. Let me know if you feel my pain. About a week prior to the madness me and bro yeah, we got a crib right there on Virginia, had to fix it up a bit so we could live. One day. Bro went to the spot, caught the mainest man breaking in, talking about we broke the lease. Well, bro, you just broke the latch. Crazy that the same woman did that. It's the one who called the police. Bro called everybody in the temple and I sped there right away. We all got there and we posted up Halle-D. When the PBD rolled up, man, they showed the whole.
Speaker 4:Hold up, hold up. We gotta stop that. In a minute I'ma play Funkmaster Flex real quick. You know Funkmaster Flex is annoying, so look.
Speaker 3:Get your tapes ready.
Speaker 4:True story. He's breaking down what happened between him and Moors in his area. Am I right or wrong?
Speaker 2:And police, but it's really more about the police Okay. But, it deals with my journey as a part of the more science temple.
Speaker 4:Right, alright, let's go.
Speaker 1:We need a remix to that.
Speaker 2:I had to put squad cars on the ramp, people with their cameras out, hoping they don't pull no bangers out, told us that we had to leave but be arrested Under threat, duress and coercion. We couldn't contest it. So we went to leave, but they wouldn't let us. Then I went live on the book At this point of work but most of the look. A brother went to get his phone out. The whip Police tried to make a move, didn, we'll be right back. Got slammed on the ground with a knee on my back. Then I heard a sound on my brother's going wild.
Speaker 1:Yes, that's dope, bro. That was deep man, appreciate it, man, appreciate it. Now've been, you gotta go. I'm not gonna lie to you, bro gotta get this shit right the true story and that is my super suit.
Speaker 2:I tried to run but I fell anyway. That does not matter. Right now I'm in this cage and I'm boiling with rage, so much on my mind and I got no pen and page. Let me meditate and read away All the hate they brought today. What a battle.
Speaker 2:Part of self to me, skedaddle, but I stay true to my brothers and my temple. True story, part two tune in. Listen to my riddle. Ain't no need to fabricate nor exaggerate. They lock me up in concrete, black and white on my body, rocking orange on my feet. Listen to my riddle. Like they killed me that evening, lil' bro. Anyway, got nothing but time to think, close my eyes, continue to breathe. I let that sail in your spirit and physical was still inside. Went back to a time met me, a lil' dime Pulled aside, grabbin' thighs, felt like I was there again. I can smell a hurricane Cocoa butter on her lips. That's when I got scared as shit. Back to my body, confused Tryna. Figure out what ability had I just used Holding my tears back. Now, that's a battle of one moves. Looking through the glass, I seen Eugene walk past. I banged on the door but he was walking way too fast.
Speaker 2: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. Nothing but anger on the floor had to quickly let it go. Won't let insanity show. Sat down on my mat and let the quietness grow. I shut my eyes. Another venue I go. Hear my story that I give you from now, to be continued All right Whew Yo.
