Kymani Marley - My favorite music artist at the moment

My boy J Nyce put me on to Kymani a little over a year ago I guess, I had no idea this cat existed. He is the son of Bob Marley and does tour with the rest of the Marley brothers (Damien, Stephen, Ziggy, Rohan, etc..) but for some reason I don't hear this cat getting any exposure. Some people have said Akon stole his style, don't know if there's any truth to that but I do hear a slight resemblance now that it was brought up.

Kymani also acted in the cult classic movie Shottas (shout out to Cliff Charles who worked on Shottas and filmed all three of my music videos)

Anyway his music is sick, he fuses crazy styles and genres and comfortably and naturally he flips them all. From Reggae of course to Hip hop to Soul the music is very powerful to me. His album RADIO is probably my favorite maybe because it has more of a Hip hop edge to it and that's the one I've been playing most lately, but I have them all and they are all good. So here are some examples and if you want more just got to you tube and type in his name, a lot of songs will come up.
