Released jointly on Street Records Corporation and Universal Records, this remix takes the already haunting original to a deeper, grittier level. Akon’s anguished hook and melodic verses remain the emotional core, while Styles P adds hard-hitting bars that amplify the track’s narrative of confinement, survival and street resilience. The synergy between Akon’s soaring vocal lines and Styles’ grounded delivery turns “Locked Up (Remix)” into a raw, unforgettable anthem.

A defining moment in Akon’s rise, this collaboration bridged commercial success with underground respect, ensuring the track’s place in hip-hop history and solidifying its reputation as one of the most powerful street records of its era.
