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

나 혼자 있는 게
외롭다고 느껴지지는
않아
하지만
네가 없는 내 모습이
거울 속에 비춰지는 게
싫어
lucky star
Be my
shining star
너 없는 밤 이런 나를
알고 있는지
Wanna be your
lucky star
Be my
shining star
별빛을 닮은
너를 생각해
별빛을 따라서
나도 모르게
밤공기를 느끼며
걷고 있어
한참을 혼자
널 생각하다가
네가 있는 곳으로
가고 싶어
I wanna be your
lucky star
Be my
shining star
너 없는 밤 이런 나를
알고 있는지
Wanna be your
lucky star
Be my
shining star
별빛을 닮은
너를 생각해
I want you to love me
baby be on my side
근데 그러긴
힘들 거란 생각에
천천히
더 길어진 듯한 이 밤에
빈 시간을 채울 건
또 너밖에 없어
But my pain is inverse
proportional to
How much you love me
if you love me
한 번은 너도
길고 긴 이 밤에
조그만 구름
달빛만큼이라도
내 생각을 그 속에다
채워 넣어 봤을지
I wanna be your
lucky star
Be my
shining star
너 없는 밤 이런 나를
알고 있는지
Wanna be your
lucky star
Be my
shining star
별빛을 닮은
너를 생각해
I wanna be your
lucky star
Be my
shining star
너 없는 밤 이런 나를
알고 있는지
Wanna be your
lucky star
Be my
shining star
별빛을 닮은
너를 생각해
I wanna be
your star
The lyrics to Ky-Mani Marley's song "Lucky" convey a sense of longing and yearning for a loved one's presence. The rainy night sets a lonely backdrop, but the singer feels surprisingly content on their own. However, the reflection of themselves without the person they're missing in the mirror is something they dislike. They express a desire to be the other person's lucky star and wish for them to be their shining star in return. The singer ponders whether the person they're missing knows how they feel during nights when they're not around.
The lyrics continue to express the singer's thoughts as they walk alone, thinking about the person who resembles starlight and unintentionally following the path of the stars.

The lyrics conclude with the singer wondering if the other person has ever thought about them even for a moment on a long drawn-out night like this, filling the skies with their thoughts just like a small cloud in the moonlight.
Overall, the lyrics of "Lucky" convey the singer's deep longing for their loved one's presence and their willingness to be a source of luck and positivity in their life.

Can I have a moment of your time
I would like to know your name
Ky-Mani that is mine
Where you've been hiding all my life
I can't believe the beauty standing right in front my eyes
[Chorus]
Girl you rule my heart
Girl you rule my heart
Girl you rule my heart
Girl you rule my heart
[Verse 2]
You are a rare and special kind
And I would do anything in the world to make you mind
Its been love at first sight
Baby let me hold you close even just for one night
[Chorus]
Girl you rule my heart
Girl you rule my heart
Girl you rule my heart
Girl you rule my heart
[Verse 3]
Girl you make me fantasize
Your body have me hypnotize
You're running circle thru my mind
Yea, yeah
I wanna love and treat you right
I've been waiting all my life
For a girl that so divine
Woh woh

Girl you rule my heart
Girl you rule my heart
