Note: I have NO idea if he moved to Morocco.

However, from I heard, he kind of got jerked over "Book of Human Langauge". I have another friend who worked at Nu Gruv Alliance that said Mumbles used to call up the label to see if he could actually get paid for his contribution to the album. Apparently the other part of the partnership never really broke him off for his work. And I think that fucked with him, because a lot of those beats really were his life's work; he'd been working on some of them since he was in high school. So he got disillusioned, sold off his record collection (I un-knowingly bought some of his 45s and albums), and left the game.

As PL posted, he did come back and release another album, and most have reconcilled with Acey, because he's on a few tracks. I think that album is also on the first to feature Blu. I've never heard it, so I don't know if it's dope or not.
