Why We Rated This on for Ages 11 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Kingston keeps it real on this record, describing common concerns to young kids -- including some refreshingly honest references to his weight issues -- without resorting to foul language or detailed descriptions of adult situations.

  • Role models:

    Kingston is an exceptional role model for kids, living clean yet achieving success in a musical genre that can be known for questionable content.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    One mention of someone getting "popped."

  • Sex:

    A couple of mild references, such as "see you laying next to me."

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    One line refers to a young, troubled girl doing "whatever for a hit."
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Tomorrow

Parents need to know that though Kingston's record includes a few brief allusions to sex, drugs, and violent circumstances, most of the album's harmless action takes place on the dance floor.
