Remaining true to his Jamaican culture, Ky-mani'ยs 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-maniย'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 Marleyโs unique sound of classical reggae beats mixed with contemporary hip hop.

Ky-Mani Marley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Interesting Facts ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I saw Miss Brown
She had brown sugar
All over her booga-wooga
I think I might join the fun
But I had to hit and run
See I just can't settle down
Ride on! Don't you know I've got to ride on, oh baby
Ride on! See I just can't settle down
Ride on! OH, I'm a leavin' town
Kinky reggae, take me away!
Kinky reggae now!
Oh, kinky reggae!
All I've got to say....
Kinky reggae, now!
Kinky reggae, now! It's gonna be kinky reggae
Kinky reggae, now!
An' I would say....
Ride on, ride on, ride on, ride on!
Oh ride on, baby!
Ride on, come on, ride on
I went down to Piccadilly Circus
Down there I saw Marcus
He had a candy tar
All over his chocolate bar
I think I might join the fun
But I had to hit and run
See I just can't settle down
In a kinky party of town
Nice one! That's what they say
But I'm leavin' you today
Oh darlin' please don't play
Mama say, mama say
Kinky reggae, take it or leave it
Kinky reggae, believe it
Kinky reggae, now
Kinky reggae, it's gonna be kinky reggae
Kinky reggae, now.
The lyrics of Ky-Mani Marley's song Kinky Reggae speak of a man who is wandering through a town where a kinky party is taking place. He sees Miss Brown with brown sugar all over her booga-wooga, a man with a candy tar all over his chocolate bar, and Marcus in Piccadilly Circus. The man feels tempted to join the kinky party but also feels that he can't settle down in such an environment. The chorus of the song has the man singing about riding on and leaving the town. Ky-Mani Marley uses the term kinky reggae to describe the party, which may suggest that it has a different vibe from regular reggae parties.
The song seems to be about a man who is tempted by the kinky party scene but then decides it's not for him. He can't settle down in that environment and chooses to leave instead. The lyrics suggest that the man is a bit of a wanderer and doesn't want to be tied down to one place or way of life. The use of the term kinky reggae might suggest that Marley is commenting on the way that some reggae fans and artists have embraced the counterculture.
