Wondering if it possible to add 'explicit' tag to local files.

I haven't found anything on this elsewhere on the site, but it would be nice if my local files looked more like my other tracks when I'm scrolling through my playlist and its weird that they can't have the explicit tag. Is there a way to add it?
