Throwback Thursday: Akon – “Locked Up” (featuring Styles P)
As it becomes apparent that much of America will be on lockdown for at least the next month, there isn’t a better soundtrack for this moment. They won’t let us out.
Written and produced by Akon, “Locked Up” was the lead single from the Senegalese singer’s debut album, Trouble, and a top 10 hit in the summer of 2004. Styles P contributes a verse to the version of the song used in the music video.
This week’s TBT pick is not only appropriate because of its hook — today also happens to be Akon’s 47th birthday.
