Since the release of their debut "MENTALLY DISTURBED" Ward 21 have watched their popularity rise and they have garnered much respect world-wide as top notch performers as well as producers.
Andre, Kunley, Randaldo and Mark or Suku, Kunley, Rumblood & Mean Dog as they are more affectionately known started out like many music junkie youths in the Kingston ghettos on various sound systems in their community. They were fortunate to gain their musical experience from one of Jamaica's most influential and groundbreaking producers King Jammy at his legendary studio situated on St Lucia Avenue, Waterhouse which is also where Ward 21 grew up.

Chorus
So mi sey, you want a rhyme, I got a rhyme

so them spine in di time, matter over mind
(?)(?)
Verse 1:
Da one yah name rhyme
have a new style and it rule everything
sometime mi DJ, sometime mi rap
want a fat gyal fi come si dung inna mi chair
if a gay club, I nah go inside
haffi have a gyal fi gimmie di wickest slam
bun a fire pon di mon dem wey a chew
even if yuh vex, you caah rush mi and mi friend
bare big machines we have locked pon di corner

careful how yuh put on yuh tuxedo
and thats all I have to say about that
Repeat Chorus 2x
Verse 2:
When we buck it off duck

come inna mi kitchen, a food yuh see boilin
watching my business and fi dem own a mash up

The lyrics to Ward 21's song "Rhyme" seem to be about the importance of having good rhymes as a rapper, and how it can make people move and dance. The chorus expresses this desire to provide good rhymes that make the girls move their waistlines. The verse one talks about how he has a new style of rhyming that rules everything, and he alternates between rapping and DJing. He mentions wanting a fat girl to come sit down on his chair while he raps, clearly indicating that his music is geared towards a certain audience. He expresses a distaste for clubs that he perceives to be "gay" and wants to have a girl to give him the "wickest slam." He then talks about important topics such as the use of firearms and the prevalence of marijuana in his community. He cautions against careless marriages and putting on a tuxedo, which can be perceived as promoting forgoing marriage and dressing casually.
The second verse talks about how the group "bucks off duck" which means they get involved in fights very often. They also seek to have sex with women everywhere they go. He mentions wanting to get engaged in fights even if it means dying. He says that the women he raps to dance with pleasure, and he believes people wonder about how many women he and his friends are with. He also talks about having a kitchen where there is food boiling and people are watching him. This verse seems to indicate that the group is involved in several illegal activities.
