In 2002 he played lead role (Biggs) in the film Shottas along with Spragga Benz, Paul Campbell, Louie Rankin, Wyclef Jean, Screechie Bop and many more. It is an original story that shows the life of a shotta/gangster on the streets of Jamaica and Miami.
He achieved even more success as a musician with a cover of Eddy Grant's Electric Avenue, in collaboration with the Fugees' Pras. He has also starred in several films, including Shottas in 2002 and as John the Baptist in the 2004 film Haven.
Remaining true to his Jamaican culture, Ky-mani's fondness for all genres of music influences the work he creates. Ky-mani is an artist with no limits. Incorporating world music, hip hop, blues, rock and a grass roots sound into his music, the end product is the pure representation of life for Ky-mani. The Ky-mani Marley sound is one that transcends cultural lines and prohibits him from being categorized as only a reggae artist. His raw, unadulterated, gruff sound captures the listener and reverberates the essence of Ky-mani's life story.
Ky-mani launched his latest album "Radio" in 2007. The album features several key singles including One Time, The March and Conversation among others. All of the songs contain Marley’s unique sound of classical reggae beats mixed with contemporary hip hop. Also featured on the CD are some of today’s hottest artists including Young Buck, Mya and Gail Gotti.

Ky-Mani Marley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sits alone trying to understand
Telling herself this could not be
But now she finds her self in love with me
Repeat
She promised herself in life
She would not fall in love with my type
She said, she'll never stoop to my level
It would be like dancing with the devil
After lookin in her eyes I told her that was not the truth inside
It's because I'm too roots
It's because I'm down to earth
Naturally always speaks the truth
After those works in my arms free volent
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
She fell in love with a rastaman
Sits alone trying to understand
Telling herself this could not be
But now she finds her self in love with me
Repeat
(common this is what the lady told me brother)
When her greatest effort
Fails to satisfy her smallest needs
It's time to make a change in her life in deed, well
But time said patiens is a wortue
And good things will come to you
Time is of the accens baby
So make sure you get this like lesson
What you see outside is not always what wells inside
This simple things I know, u know
So u cant replace what u should let go
Cause u done
She fell in love with a rastaman
Sits alone trying to understand
Telling herself this could not be
But now she finds her self in love with me
Repeat
Bababadubidabi dubaaa woooeeej
Hahaha wawoodioo
It's because I'm too roots
It's because I'm down to earth
Naturally always speaks the truth
After those works in my arms free volent
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
She fell in love with a rastaman
Sits alone trying to understand
Telling herself this could not be
But now she finds her self in love with me
Repeat
