OVERVIEW
Sean Kingston, the17 year-old Miami born, Jamaica bred artist, is not just a new face in popular music; he抯 accomplished the rare task of creating a new genre where rap, reggae, pop, doo-wop and remarkable songwriting all combine into something totally refreshing. Add in Sean抯 family roots, which cite Jamaican legendary producer Jack Ruby as his grandfather, and you have one of the most exciting debuts this year. And while hip-hop lyrics have sparked the biggest debate in years, Sean finds himself in the center of the controversy - but not where you might think. The teen prefers to show his creativity without using profanity.
Kingston wants to make it clear that he is no cookie cutter artist that has the songs mapped out for him - he comes up with 100 percent of his lyrics. Sean also understands that as a 17 year-old making urban music he has a responsibility to fans, 揥ith this album I thought it was important to not use curse words or negative language that might offend people. I write my own songs so it抯 like if I can write a great track without using those words, then that抯 the style for me.� Sean continues, 揂s an artist, my whole goal is to make powerful and classic album. I want everyone to feel my music and understand my heritage and that抯 what this album will do. The music is all about the authentic Sean Kingston vibe. J.R. is a talented dude and a dope producer and he heard that I had something different to offer from other artists out there. Together we抮e a powerful force and I抦 ready to share it with the world.�
Sean talks about J.R. more like a big brother, rather than an Executive Producer of his album. Last spring Sean reached out to J.R. on MySpace. Sean was drawn to J.R. because he was young and hungry like himself and felt like the music he was making was the type of music for him. Rotem emailed him back. J.R. almost had no choice. 揝ean would hit me up at least three times a day!� J.R. says.
