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's 'Lion a Roar' is a song about a man who is fascinated by a woman who is strong, brave, and determined. He describes her as a lioness who roars fiercely, and he admires her strength and courage. The lyrics evoke the image of a wild animal, and the song's beat is confident and powerful. The singer is captivated by the woman and wants to be close to her, but he also respects that she is independent and courageous.
The lyrics are in Korean, and there are some parts that might have been lost in translation. However, the lyrics are full of references to a lion's heart, courage, and strength. The chorus speaks about the singer's lion heart and how it beats strongly for this woman. The use of lion imagery in the song amplifies the message of courage and confidence. This song encourages women to be strong and fearless, and to never give up even in the face of adversity.
