Yeah, this album dropped over a year ago, but most people have never heard of it or him, so I'll let ya know. Ky-Mani is one of the younger Marley kids and has a different mother than most of the others. He grew up in Miami from the age of 9, so has a more Americanized, gangsta swag to his music. while his tracks clearly have a Jamaican Reggae influence, it would be difficult to classify these tracks as Reggae. While they have elements of Reggae to them, they are generally set to hip hop beats and feature rapped verses. "The March", which is also featured in Spanish at the end of the album, shows Ky-Mani's rugged, unforgiving flow. However, on tracks like "One Time" "Jezebel" and "Royal Vibes" he manages to showcase that honey voice that we all knew he would inherit from his father. He features Mya on "I Got You" and tells his ghetto story with little help from his legendary father on "Ghetto Soldier". This is a solid album with a laid back vibe and a good, upbeat sound.
8.5/10
