First Born Prince Allah was a prominent member of the Five Percent Nation. His work with the organization and the community was legendary. Then on October 15, 2001, he was murdered.
The Five Percenters, also known as the Five Percent Nation, is a movement that believes 10 percent of the world knows the truth, and those elites opt to keep 85 percent of the world in ignorance. The remaining 5 percent — the Five Percent Nation — are out to enlighten the world. The Five Percenters was founded by former Nation of Islam member Allah the Father (formerly known as Clarence 13X) in 1964 in the Harlem section of Manhattan, New York City.
“Misrepresented in the media as a Black parallel to the Hell’s Angels, portrayed as everything from a vicious street gang to quasi- Islamic revolutionaries, The Five Percenters are a movement that began as a breakaway sect from the Nation of Islam (NOI) in the 1960s Harlem and went on to impact the formation of hip-hop,” wrote Michael Muhammad Knight in his book “Why I Am a Five Percenter.”
The teaching focus on mathematics and “science.” Part of the Five Percent philosophy is a system of understanding numbers called the Supreme Mathematics. Supreme Mathematics is used along with the Supreme Alphabet as tools to unlock the keys to reality and the universe. As Five Percenter The GZA, a member of the hip-hop group the Wu-Tang Clan, once explained, “Science is just knowledge about the natural world based on facts that’s learned through experiments and observation or study.”
