"Time has shown us that, the one constant is change.

Only through change are we able to grow.

This having been said, Ky-mani has raised the stakes with this,

his latest jewel.

Haters & nay sayers have long waged a futile battle against

that which they either don't understand or, are afraid to embrace.

To exile Hip-Hop, or most certainly Reggae to a finite definition,

is in essence to close the door on all that has been achieved,

as well as all that has yet to be achieved.

This body of work not only gives an accurate portrait of human existence,

it rounds off the jagged corners upon which the closed minded continue to

cut themselves.

The tracks are "bar none" a jump start to the drained batteries of today's

or, more appropriately, tomorrow's heroes.

The lyrics hold no grudges, and make no excuses.

Those eager to be moved...will be. Those awaiting the next thing to hate,

bon` apetite.

This album goes to prove that.....If you're waiting on life,

you probably just missed it. (& you can quote me on that!!!)



~peace & blessings~

Ky-Mani Marley - Radio

"Ky-Mani Marley's fourth solo album is "Radio" (2007) a fourteen track release which features guest appearances from Louie Rankin, Young Buck, Gail Gotti, Tessanne Chin, Mya & Maintain. The Jamaican born Miami raised artist provides a substantial release which is more Hip Hop influenced then any of his past album's, and the infusion of the two genres works real well on this album - a fine example being the album's opening track "I'm Back" where Ky-Mani collaborates with Louie Rankin and Young Buck for an excellent track. Next up is "The March" which has Ky-Mani rolling out for war. "Slow Roll" is just that, Marley delivers a laid back tribute to a special woman, female MC Gail Gotti makes a late appearance. Head nodding production follows on "One Time" , Marley sings away on the upbeat "Hustler" & teams up with female singer Tesanne Chin on "The Conversation". Marley keeps the love ballads coming on tracks like "Royal Vibes" & the mellow "I Got You" feat. Mya. Ky-Mani Marley sings with passion on "Jezebel" a tale of being in love with a woman who is not loyal and the heart break it causes. My favourite track on this release is "Ghetto Soldier", Marley, Louie Rankin and MC Maintain team up for a blazing banger. The Red Spyda produced "Breakdown" follows, and then Marley closes the album off on an introspective note asking for god's blessing on the deep "I Pray". A Bonus Vox Spanish Remix of the "The March" is also included. "Radio" is high quality album worth having in the collection, recommend checking it out."

Great Album!!

"This album by Ky-Mani is great work. I love the feel of the album. This is Ky-Mani but this is not reggae. Some songs have a reggae feel but most of it is hip-hop and r&b. I love The March, The Conversation, Royal Vibes, Hustler, Jezebel, Slow Roll, I Pray. So many hits on this record!! It was nice hearing a Marley outside of reggae. Buy this, you will love it. I hope this record gets the exposure it deserves."
